accessing class id or name

[Christina]

ok well im using mogs scene menu script, i dont think you have to be familiar to solve my problem... hopefully.
so in the menu it draws the face by using actor.name + "_fc" like the name of the image will be aluxes_fc.png kind of thing. problem is that I have it so that you can input your own heros name, and you can choose between a boy and a girl. so i decided to have it use the actor's class to draw it. like if the actor is a girl her class is StudentGirl and the boy is StudentBoy.
ive tried usign actor.Class.name and actor.class_id plus any of these combinations with every combination to the image file like 1_fc.png and StudentBoy.png and it doesnt seem to work. :S
doesnt anybody know how to properly access classes? cause apparently i dont :S haha
thanks for any help, sorry for the long explaination.

Can you post the script? It would give me a better idea on how it works.

[Kokowam]

This is a shot in the dark, but... Okay. First once you have the person choose a gender, set a variable to the gender they are like "StudentGirl" or "StudentBoy." Then, use \v[variable for the gender]_fc.png. Would that work?

[Christina]

ill give it a shot moo thanks

i have the line in red
thanks for any help guys

[modern algebra]

try $data_classes[actor.class_id].name

I think that would do it, but I'm drawing a blank right now on syntax so I could be wrong.

[Christina]

ill give it a go and tell you if it works thanks
