Get the label, if any, associated with a game object...
Syntax
var labelName = getLabel(object);
Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Mandatory | Notes | Game version |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| object |  | The object to inspect. | 3.2 |
Return value
| Value | Type | Notes | Game version |
|---|---|---|---|
| <labelName> | String | If the object has a label, the name of the label will be returned. If an object has multiple labels, only the first label found will be returned. | 3.2 |
null | Null | The object is not labelled. | 3.2 |
| <error> | Error | An error occurred, most likely invalid parameters. | 3.2 |
Notes
Be careful not to call a variable "label" as that's also the name of a global function: label()
Example
var theLabel = getLabel(someObject);
This is a relatively slow operation of O(n) algorithmic complexity.
