Returns the name of the player's bolster partner, or nothing if there is none.<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
name = GetBolsterBuddy()<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
== Arguments ==<br />
None.<br />
<br />
== Returns ==<br />
;name : <code>wstring</code> – Character name of the bolster partner. Nothing if the player has no partner or the name cannot be found.<br />
<br />
== Details ==<br />
* The client keeps the partner as a world object reference and looks the name up among the group or warband members. If the partner is not found there, the function returns nothing.<br />
* The stock UI uses the result both as a yes/no test (<code>if GetBolsterBuddy() then</code>) and to compare against a member's name.<br />
* Arguments are not read.<br />
<br />
== Errors ==<br />
None.<br />
<br />
== Example ==<br />
From <code>default/easystem_utils/source/partyutils.lua</code> (<code>PartyUtils.GetBolsterMenuText</code>):<br />
<pre><br />
local bolsterBuddy = GetBolsterBuddy()<br />
if( bolsterBuddy ~= nil and bolsterBuddy == name )<br />
then<br />
bolsterText = GetString( StringTables.Default.LABEL_END_APPRENTICESHIP )<br />
bolsterCallback = PartyUtils.BolsterCancel<br />
elseif( bolsterBuddy == nil )<br />
then<br />
bolsterText = GetString( StringTables.Default.LABEL_MAKE_APPRENTICE )<br />
bolsterCallback = PartyUtils.BolsterOffer<br />
end<br />
