I need to check for the name of the weapon.
found array weapon_name, which will return the name, but how to compare these names?
purpose: if weapon_name is "colt", it is possible to do something.
that is a test of weapon name to assign its value.

Not 100% sure of your question. Getting the name of the weapon is easy enough but why do you need to compare them? What are you trying to achieve? Change the displayed name? See what weapons you own?

weapon.lua shows how to access and display the weapon name, for more I'd need to know what you intend to do with it. It's easy enough to do a script to read in all the weapons into an array you manage - as long as you understand how to use and manage said array

+ Code Snippet

if weapon_name[e] == "Colt 1911" then
--do something
Price[e] = 250
--check other weapons
elseif weapon_name[e] == "Magnum" then
--do something else
Price[e] = 500
end
