Hey,
Is it possible to get the entity real name? Such as func_breakable, mappers name each entity on the map in VHE, or another program.
Is it possible to get the name?

Classname returns the entity class, globalname doesnt work and same for targetname

I assume it's retrieved in fakemeta using pev_targetname

He already mentioned that targetname doesn't work.

Such as func_breakable ?

That is a class name if he named the class name to something different it may not even function it wouldn't be an entity just an object.

No. Each entity can be assigned a name in VHE.

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(entEV_SZ_classnameszClass9);
entity_get_string(entEV_SZ_targetnameszTarget6);
if (!
equal(szClass"func_wall") || equal(szTarget"ignore"))
    return

i have been fighting with these names from VHE for 2man kz maps, and how i remember it was a little confusing, like target in .sma was name in VHE or something like that, try these things:
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

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_namekillerszNamecharsmax(szName))
        
entity_get_string(entEV_SZ_targetnameszTargetname6)

        
client_print(0print_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

I have tried both of these, not working
PHP Code:

Whats the 'target'? the 4th arg in engfunc
PHP Code:
while(( targetent engfunc(EngFunc_FindEntityByStringtargetent"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

Show us the code in which you're trying to get the name. You may be using it on a wrong entity index. Also, are you sure the entity even has a name?
