Getting an actor's name - from aliased actor?

[chajapa]

I use this to get an actor name from dialogue to use in Debug.Notification

akSpeaker.GetBaseObject().GetName()

So like this:

Debug.Notification(akSpeaker.GetBaseObject().GetName() + " is EXTRA MILKY!")

I have an actor in an alias and I get them into a SexLab animation by using this:

Alias_Follower.GetActorReference()

If I want to get that actor's name would I just replace "akSpeaker" with "Alias_Follower.GetActorReference()"

 

So it would look like this:

Alias_Follower.GetActorReference().GetBaseObject().GetName()

Or would this work:

Alias_Follower.GetActorReference().GetName()

To get names of an actor you should always call getLeveledActorBase() or in some cases you get strange names.

 

so considering that akSpeaker is of type Actor (it is given inside a TopicFragment), you can get the name with:

 

akSpeaker.getLeveledActorBase().getName()

 

if your origin is a reference alias then you have to get the Actor from the ReferenceAlias and then get the name in the same way:

 

Alias_Follower.getActorRef().getLeveledActorbase().getName()
