How do we assign a ".name" to behavior?

This function :

object.getBehavior() seems to return either first behavior if no name is specified or crashes if a name is specified.

i've Tried to make if like:

card_behavior = function ()

{

name = "card_behavior";

......

even

card_behavior = function ()

{

behavior.name = "card_behavior";

......

even

CardObj.addBehavior(card_behavior);

card_behavior.name = "card_behavior";

Still

CardObj.getBehavior("card_behavior");

or

CardObj.getBehavior(card_behavior);

returns Null;

Dunno... Maybe i'm just doing it wrong....

Well Found a way:

this.PlayerHub[0]._behaviors[1].DrawStats();

That way code works but it means i have to hold in mind in wich order do i assign behaviors and never change this order.

Found a more convenient way.. still not realy good one:

this.PlayerHub[0].addBehavior(hero_card);

this.PlayerHub[0]._behaviors[this.PlayerHub[0]._behaviors.length-1].name = 'hero_card';

.....

this.PlayerHub[0].getBehavior('hero_card').DrawStats();

Although it doesn't require to remember order of behaviors adding, i'd still like to have a way to do this without looking into the engine code.

Yeah there is a way, but it isn't really clear from the documentation... I'll update the docs for the next release of WADE. Anyway, in your behavior function, you can do:

card_behavior = function (){this.name = "card_behavior";.....

so "name" should be a member of the behavior function. Then you can do:

this.PlayerHub[0].getBehavior('card_behavior');
