getting actor's name

[lee3310]

 

 

Another option, from the ObjectReference Script: ContainerActor[0].GetDisplayName()

I used that function along with "Rename Anything" "SetRefName()" to copy a ref name to another but it only works when the PC is in same cell (refs are 3d loaded)

 

GetDisplayName() should also work on unloaded but persistent object references that have displayable names.

 

It's easy to test what statement is failing ("getName" or "setName") but yes, it's definitely "SetRefName()" that needs actor to be loaded.
