TF2 Get CP Name by Index

The JCS · **Author**

Is there any way to get the name of the using its Index?
I think I can use a loop to check every CP if it's the index is equal to the index that i want, but i don't have any idea how to get the entity index. =/

FindEntityByClassname(-1, "team_control_point");

This will return the entity, but I want a property of that entity.

What property do you want? You can get the values through datamaps or netprops.

I want the Index and the Name that appears on HUD when a player capture a CP. Can you tell me the way to get them? I'm really lost.

Well, you said you didn't know how to get the entity index, so I posted how to get that.

You can use something like GetEntPropString(caller, Prop_Data, "m_ModelName", modelname, 256); to get its name, but I'm not sure what to use instead of m_ModelName. I don't think it's m_Name. It might be m_target as LDuke said here.

"Index" is the name of the CPEntity property
