RPG Maker Forums

First off a few details so everyone can understand what I want to make and why.

The game contains two possible Actors.
The game also contains two possible Classes.
Actor 1 is Class 1 and Actor 2 is Class 2.
This is RPG Maker basics, but I needed to state how things are set up, so you would understand easier what I am trying to do.

So I want to make npcs say something like:

Class: Name:
Officer Johnson
Captain Jack

Thus I thought that
\V[1] \N[1]

would be a fine way to do that.
But I should add the class name to variable 1 first. That's what I try to achieve really.
So....
I ran that script...

$gameVariables[1] = $game_actors[1].class.name;

and got a reference error
"game_actors is not defined"

Isn't game_actors scope global? I mean, why wouldn't I access it from eventing?
If not, please consider giving me a way to refer to the data through Script or Plugin command, Event command.
If possible please explain why and how your way works, so I can also hopefully understand what is going on here. :p

Also:
Feel free to share alternative ways to show class name.

Thanks in advance guys.

Our latest feature is an interview with... me?!

People4_2 (Capelet off and on) added!

Just beat the last of us 2 last night and starting jedi: fallen order right now, both use unreal engine & when I say i knew 80% of jedi's buttons right away because they were the same buttons as TLOU2 its ridiculous, even the same narrow hallway crawl and barely-made-it jump they do. Unreal Engine is just big budget RPG Maker the way they make games nearly identical at its core lol.
Can someone recommend some fun story-heavy RPGs to me? Coming up with good gameplay is a nightmare! I was thinking of making some gameplay platforming-based, but that doesn't work well in RPG form*. I also was thinking of removing battles, but that would be too much like OneShot. I don't even know how to make good puzzles!
one bad plugin combo later and one of my followers is moonwalking off the screen on his own... I didn't even more yet on the new map lol.
