print alias of an object? (SOLVED)

NecroDeath
23 Jul 2018, 15:33Need a bit of help with a container script.
I am adding a 'script to run when trying to add an object'
First is moves that object to a different location which works fine :
MoveObject (object, UndertheTree)
Then I want to print a message that says, the 'insert name of object' has been thrown out of the tree.
I can call the 'object' by using: msg (object)
but it returns the name of the object not the alias, and it prints 'Object:' before naming it.

msg(object.alias)
Even better, use GetDisplayAlias
or GetDisplayName
, which give the alias if there is one, or the name otherwise. One prefixes "a" where appropriate.
msg(GetDisplayAlias(object.alias))
