LUA $name

Strange thing my LUA is working, but either $name is not working like I thought or something is off.

Code:

function event_say(e)

                if(e.message:findi("hail")) then

                        e.self:Say("Hello $name. If you possess a Dark Wedding Certificate you may hand it to me when you are ready to begin your wedding. If you are currently in a wedding party you may [" .. eq.say_link("enter the chapel",false,"enter the chapel") .. "] now.");

                end

end

That is actually printing out $name

I found this in '\quests\freeporteast\Groflah_Steadirt.lua':

e.self:Say(string.format("Greetings, %s! Join in the [celebration]! Have a few drinks. Alas, there are no [Tumpy Tonics].",e.other:GetName()));

I think '$name' is a perl holdover.

Additionally, this does work, but is horribly unreadable to people not familiar with C++

This is the preferred way to do it.

I also like the second way better. I am familiar with the first way, just from dabbling in C++, but it is not that readable to me.
