- When applied to a unit, this returns the variable name that was assigned to the unit in the editor. For example, if you have created a playable unit with the name 'thePlayer' then you can use 'str player' to return "thePlayer";

str ""; // "" count str ""; // 2 str text ""; // count str text ""; // 0
