tileset_get_name

This function will return the name as a string of the specified tile set asset. This name is the one that has been specified for the tile set in the Asset Browser of the main GameMaker window.

NOTE This is only a string and cannot be used to reference the tile set directly - for that you would need the tile set index. You can, however, use this string to get the tile set index using the returned string along with the function asset_get_index.

Syntax:

tileset_get_name(index);

Returns

String

Example:

var _l = layer_get_id("tilemap_trees");
var _m = layer_tilemap_get_id(_l);
var _t = tilemap_get_tileset(_m);
tileset_name = tileset_get_name(_t);

The above code will get the name of the tile set index for the given layer, storing the return string in the variable tileset_name.
