Hi,
a small thing that's puzzling me: up till now I've used GetSpecies() to return the class name of an actor, but I found out that there's also GetClassName(), however I can't seem to find it in GZDoom.pk3.
My question is: what's the difference and which one is preferred?
[ZScript] GetClassName

Re: [ZScript] GetClassName
GetClassName() is intrinsic function. It works according to its name while purpose of Species is quite different.

Re: [ZScript] GetClassName
Thanks! That explains a lot. From now on I will use GetClassName() for just getting the name._mental_ wrote:GetClassName() is intrinsic function. It works according to its name while purpose of Species is quite different.
