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";

If you try to count string, the added quotations marks are valid characters and will be counted.

If you want to make empty string with str that doesn't have any quotation marks, but is still a String you can use text: str ""; // "" count str ""; // 2 str text ""; // count str text ""; // 0

Be careful when using str on arrays and you are used to putting a whitespace behind every comma: str [0, 0, 0] == "[0, 0, 0]"; // false
