Name return

[idleness]

Can anyone tell me the command to return the name of a unit as named in the naming box

all i'm able to get is WEST Alpha Black X when i want to be able to see the funny names that i give my soldiers. Currently using:

TitleText [Format["%1 %2 %3", _me, _you, _him],"Plain Down"]

and all i get is WEST Alpha Black X.

btw, _me,_you,_him are the names of my soldiers.

It should work with the name command

Code: [Select]

TitleText [Format["%1 %2 %3", name _me, name _you, name _him],"Plain Down"]

You can't return the 'name' field name...

That's actually only a global variable 'assigned' to the unit, so that you can use that 'name' in scripts or triggers to check the unit's conditions and to make it do stuff etc...
Or to keep track of which unit is which, etc..

To really name your unit and use that name you need to make entries in the description.ext file and then use the name function...
Some sort of tutorials should be at Editors Depot...
