string my_name()

Returns the name of the logged-in character (in all-lowercase).

This example imports different breakfast scripts depending on which character is running the script.

if (my_name() == "MyMain") {
  import <MainBreakfast.ash>;
}
else if (my_name() == "MyMulti") {
  import <MultiBreakfast.ash>;
}

Note that case doesn't matter for string comparisons, so the following two examples are functionally equivalent.

if (my_name() == "MyCharacter") {
  //some_code_here
}

if (my_name() == "mycharacter") {
  //some_code_here
}

When not logged in, this function returns an empty string.
