Variable "translation" in Actor clashes with Translation str

[Jekyll Grim Payne]

Tried making a colored lensflare that changes sprite depending on master's translation.
This doesn't work:

Code: Select all

Class BD_PlasmaFlare : Actor
{
Default {
	+NOINTERACTION
	renderstyle "Add";
	alpha 0.4;
	scale 0.1;
	}
states
	{
	Spawn:
		LENB A 0 NoDelay {
			if (master && master.translation == Translation.GetId("GreenPlasma"))
				sprite = GetSpriteIndex("LENG");
			A_Warp(AAPTR_MASTER);
			}
		#### A 1 bright {
			if (!master)
				self.destroy();
			}
		wait;
	}
}

Error: Invalid expression on left hand side of GetID


This works, though:

Code: Select all

class Extensions {
    static int GetTranslationID (name transname) {
        return Translation.GetID (transname);
    }
}

Class BD_PlasmaFlare : Actor
{
Default {
	+NOINTERACTION
	renderstyle "Add";
	alpha 0.4;
	scale 0.1;
	}
states
	{
	Spawn:
		LENB A 0 NoDelay {
			if (master && master.translation == Extensions.GetTranslationID("GreenPlasma"))
				sprite = GetSpriteIndex("LENG");
			A_Warp(AAPTR_MASTER);
			}
		#### A 1 bright {
			if (!master)
				self.destroy();
			}
		wait;
	}
}

This isn't really a bug. Unfortunately I do not have a good idea how to resolve this clash in a simple fashion.
