when an entity is picked for example, you can get the picked entity and returns a number/value for the entity in question.
how do you retrieve its actual name you have given it.
eg: you have an entity - cube=createcube()
if its picked, how am i supposed to gets its name "cube" rather than the value it is?

You could use ... nameentity(cube), "CUBE"

TheName$ = entityname( PickedEntity )
