( TurnToCha(t[i]) ) - what does it stand for?

[Jones 36]

Yeah the question is in the title,

What does it actually pull? 

[V3ct0r 2,117]

function TurnToCha ( role ) 
	local x_role = role 
	if ChaIsBoat ( role ) == 1 then 
		x_role = GetMainCha ( role ) 
	end 
	return x_role 
end 

I think it returns character's descriptor if he is in boat.

there are some functions that use

 

local cha_name = GetChaDefaultName ( TurnToCha (t ) 

 

instead of

 

local cha_name = GetChaDefaultName ( role )

 

So my wonder is what it is for

 

it seems to achieve the same thing (pull the character's name)

but it feels that TurnToCha is more specific?

Using GetChaDefaultName when in a boat gives the boats name, not the chars name. (I used to use this to mess with servers that had an older version of tele delays to tele other players)

so GetChaDefaultName ( role ) on boat = Boat Name

and

GetChaDefaultName ( TurnToCha ( t [ i ] ) ) on boat = Character's Name?
