how to get class name ?

Hi,
I don't find any way to get the class type of an object. Is there any ?

 

Do you actually need the class's name or do you just need to compare the types of two objects?

 

I need to know if an object entering a trigger is a valid object for this trigger. Only some classes should trigger it and the result depends on object type.

 

Code (csharp):

1. someObject.GetType();

See System.Object.GetType()

Code (csharp):

1. if (someObject is SomeType)
2. {
3.   // Ok so it's one of our types
4. }

Or perhaps you only need to do this:

Code (csharp):

1. if (someObject.CompareTag("Player"))
2. {
3.   // Ok so it is tagged "Player" from the editor
4. }

If you need to check if the colliding object has a certain script on it:

Code (csharp):

1. if (someObject.GetComponent("SomeScript") != null)
2. {
3.   // Ok so it has SomeScript on it.
4. }

Above code is C#. I doubt JS is much different, if at all.

 

this.GetType().Name
*referenceToObject.GetType().Name
*Type.Name
Getcomponent<*component>().GetType().Name
