Mold:
/title

Port:
Try invoking the dump() member function of a brick group and look at the output.

Headcrab Zombie:
I'm assuming that by name, you mean the name you can set with the wrench

_<brick name>

So if the brick's name is 'test'
_test.delete();
would delete it

The proper way is looking at the variables on a brick group in order to see all bricks named that (and also to see it for a specific person).

Axolotl:
This will work.

This is the easy way.

--- Code: ---function findBrickByName(%name)
{
   eval("%currentbrick = \"_\" @ %name;");
   if(isObject(%currentBrick) && %currentBrick.getClassName() $= "fxDTSBrick")
   {
   return %currentbrick.getID();
   }
   else
   {
   return 0;
   }
}

--- End code ---
Keep in mind that this only looks for single named bricks so I'd appreciate it if somebody did it with Port's way.
