03 October 2008 07:21 (UK time) Is the multiplayer player-name string accessible via script-files for maps? If so, what is its name?

Help! I've forgotten to count my fingers! Where do I find them?" The LED strip behind me pops and goes out. Dark spots appear in the centre of each light. I lift my finger to my lips. The smell of tantalum capacitors fills the air. Ssh. Don't worry about that. Behind those frameworks there's another person sleeping. Some day the javascript will sleep too.

But no, I've searched through the whole M2 function reference and I didn't find anything that returns an object's name, I'm afraid. This link is dead. It's only still here because, err... yknow, it's some sort of... memorial. You need to login to create posts in this thread.

06 October 2008 01:04 (UK time) I guess I'll have to copy most of the Smart-Computer script from Swallow-lake to allow the player to enter their name. And so another question arises, seeing as variables/strings are local to the script they are executed in, will a static flag hold a string or do I have to declare a public string somehow?
