path_get_name

This function will return the name of the path that is referenced as a string. The name is whatever has been used to define the path in the editor or (if the path has been created through a code function) it will return a string with the format " _newpathXX" where "XX" is the number of the path generated, starting at 0 and incrementing by one every time a new path is created. Please note that this is only a string and cannot be used to reference the path directly - for that you would need the path index ID. You can, however, use this string to get the path index ID using the returned string along with the function asset_get_index().

Syntax:

path_get_name(index);

Returns:

String

Example:

path_name = path_get_name(path_array[0]);

This will set "path_name" to the name of the path indexed in the given array at position 0.
