Is there a way to tell which .rte something came from?

In this particular case I'm trying to check if an actor came from Ronin.rte, for example.

Code:
if soldier.presetname == ("Ronin.rte/Soldier") then


Should be what you're looking for.

I think that one goes for specific actors though, I'd want to include everything in the module.

EDIT: I'll see if this works:
Code:
if soldier.PresetName == ("Ronin.rte/" .. soldier.PresetName) then
EDIT2: didn't work

I don't think that syntax is correct Coops and in any case like 4zK said it would only work for specific actors.

Here's my get module function (which was made with the help of Foa, CaveCricket and Bad Boy):

Code:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--Get Module Function
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
function GetModule(Preset)
--print("getting module")
   for i = 0, (PresetMan:GetTotalModuleCount()-1) do
      Preset.TempModule = PresetMan:GetEntityDataLocation(Preset.ClassName, Preset.PresetName, i)
      local number1, number2 = string.find(Preset.TempModule, ".rte")
      if number2 ~= nil then                  
         local TempModule = string.sub(Preset.TempModule, 1, number2)
         Preset.Module = TempModule
      end
   end
   --print(Preset.Module)
   return Preset.Module
end


This is what I use to get modules in my custom activities. It should in theory work with both actors and weapons, but I've only tried it with actors.

Yeah, it works. Thanks.
