sprite_get_name

This function will return the name as a string of the specified sprite. This name is the one that has been specified for the sprite in the resource tree of the main GameMaker window. Please note that this is only a string and cannot be used to reference the sprite directly - for that you would need the sprite index. You can, however, use this string to get the sprite index using the returned string along with the function asset_get_index().

Syntax:

sprite_get_name(index);

Returns

String

Example:

str = sprite_get_name(sprite_index);

The above code will get the name of the sprite index for the instance running the code and store the return value in the variable "str".
