scriptVar.name
This attribute contains the name of a script in the runtime environment.
Usage
scriptVar.name = "scriptName"
scriptName = scriptVar.name
Name of the variable that references the script
A string that represents the name of the script
Details
When setting the script name, this attribute renames the script that the variable scriptVar
references.
This attribute must be either a valid Lua identifier or the empty string. Changing the name of a script
changes the index that is used to access the script in the script.user.scripts table. Setting the
attribute to an empty string removes the script from the table completely, and the script becomes an
unnamed script.
As long as there are variables referencing an unnamed script, the script can be accessed through
those variables. When all variables that reference an unnamed script are removed, the script is
removed from the runtime environment.
If the new name is the same as a name that is already used for another script, the name of the other
script is set to an empty string, and that script becomes unnamed.
Changing the name of a script does not change the name of any variables that reference that script.
The variables still reference the script, but the names of the script and variables may not match.
Example
test7 = script.new("display.clear() display.settext('Hello from my test')", "")
test7()
print(test7.name)
test7.name = "test7"
print(test7.name)
test7.save()
This example calls the script.new() function to create a script with no name, runs the script, names the
script "test7", and then saves the script in nonvolatile memory.
