However, it has a type. Therefore, you can check it like this: if(istype(usr, /mob/player/Agna))

Scoobert	Just a few days ago i had to explain this to someone. ""'s (like in real life) are for refering to text, they are for quoting., what you said is no diffrent than if(usr=="To be or not to be") Please remeber, ""'s mean text. Numbers, varibles and almost anything else dont belong in ""'s.
