object_get_name(obj);
| Argument | Description |
|---|---|
| obj | The index of the object to check. |
Returns: String
This function will return the name as a string of the
specified object. This name is the one that has been specified for
the object in the resource tree of the main GameMaker:
Studio window. Please note that this is only a string
and cannot be used to reference the object directly - for that you
would need the object index. You can, however, use this
string to get the object index using the returned string
along with the function asset_get_index().
str = object_get_name(object_index);
The above code will get the name of the object index for the instance running the code and store the return value in the variable "str".
