Description
- Description:
- Sets string representation of an object to a custom string.
When a vehicle is created and named in the editor, the name becomes both the variable containing the vehicle object and the string representation of the vehicle object. In scripts an extra step is needed to achieve the same effect. See Example 1.
This does not work with Simple Objects. - Groups:
- Object Manipulation
