Is it possible to assign the class name of an actor to a string? if so ow would you do it.

Actor actor = getObjects(Actor.class).get(0); // get actor reference
String type = actor.getClass().getName(); // put class name of actor to a string

You will most probably be getting the actor reference some other way.

You are probably using it in an Actor subclass. Try:

String type = this.getClass().getName();
