My name

needs(code_samples);

Function Syntax

string my_name()

Returns the name of the logged-in character, all in lowercase.

Code Samples

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 capitalization is not strictly adhered to (much as with the chat command "/whois" in game). The following two examples are functionally equivalent.

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

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