It should indeed be targetname. Take a look at this BaseBuilder mod - https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=144287
It uses entities named "barrier" to do stuff.

PHP Code:


			
g_iEntBarrier = find_ent_by_tname( -1, "barrier" );

And entities named "ignore" for other things. Here the guy got the name like this:

PHP Code:


			
new szClass[10], szTarget[7];
entity_get_string(ent, EV_SZ_classname, szClass, 9);
entity_get_string(ent, EV_SZ_targetname, szTarget, 6);
if (!equal(szClass, "func_wall") || equal(szTarget, "ignore"))
    return PLUGIN_HANDLED;

It didnt work aswell, im trying to get the entity name and print it in chat after it gets destroyed/killed
Correct me if i was mistaken

PHP Code:


			
        new szTargetname[7], szName[32]
        get_user_name( killer, szName, charsmax(szName))
        entity_get_string(ent, EV_SZ_targetname, szTargetname, 6)

        client_print(0, print_chat, "*%s* was broken by *%s*", szTargetname , szName)

BTW, im not sure if targetname gets the entity name after it gets destroyed/killed, i think it gets the name when you aim on the entity

Code:

1)
entity_get_string( ent, EV_SZ_target, target, charsmax( target ) )
entity_get_string( ent, EV_SZ_targetname, target2, charsmax( target2 ) )

and i had this also:

2)
new targetent = FM_NULLENT;

//this below was done in plugin_init, cant remember if it must be there, but just to let you know:
while(( targetent = engfunc(EngFunc_FindEntityByString, targetent, "name", target ) != 0))
{
//your code
}

i dont have time to test it again, but i think second one is more accurate, you can test it

I have tried both of these, not working

PHP Code:


			
entity_get_string( ent, EV_SZ_target, target, charsmax( target ) )
entity_get_string( ent, EV_SZ_targetname, target2, charsmax( target2 ) )

Whats the 'target'? the 4th arg in engfunc

PHP Code:


			
while(( targetent = engfunc(EngFunc_FindEntityByString, targetent, "name", target ) != 0))

Im not sure if I understood all of it, but it seems your method shows the name when you aim on it
