How to get a name of object? (sprite, costume, sound)

How do we get a name of objects?

It would look like this

untitled script pic 33

  1. It does not give name of costume object, it gives name of current costume of sprite object.
  2. It does not give name of any sprite object, you would need to ask other sprites to get them.
  3. This one is correct, it gives name of sound object.

If a costume object is not in the costume list it doesn’t have a name (I don’t think)
There’s also this

This works different

This works different?

Yea
(Costume name) of (my costume) doesn’t work, but that does

Um, it does work for me?

That’s what imnsaying

I think @cookieclickerer33 meant the following:
Imagine that you have a sprite with a costume named "Smiley".

The following script, ((costume name) of (my (costume))), does not work, as it returns

However, this script, ((name) of costume (my (costume))), does work, returning

Here's how to get the name of a sprite

the bad way

Is there any other way? The reason why I posted that, was because the title mentions getting the name of a sprite, yet no one here has given a solution to that.

I asked about getting a name of object, not about getting a name of sprite object. I also wanted to learn if there is any other way to do that

What do you mean, an object? Like {foo: "bar"}??

Im not sure if i understand what foo bar is, by object i mean 3 types, sprites, costumes, sounds, the input would take object, and give a name of object we placed in input

Name of Sprite:

Name of costume:

Name of sound:

You can trivially write that using the IS _ A _ ? block to find out which kind of object your input is.

I can, in fact i do, i just thought there might be some other way

Well, you could do something like this

There is a deep idea behind the syntactic differences. Costumes and sounds are passive objects: they can't run blocks. Only sprites and the stage are active objects, a/k/a actors, a/k/a agents. (Yeah, the stage breaks the actor metaphor.) So, in particular, only actors can run the MY block, as in MY NAME. To find the name of a passive object, you have to get an active object to run a block along the lines of _ OF COSTUME _.
