How to convert GameObjecto to String???

[PolyMad]

There's no action for this???

Get Name

I don't see how a gameobject could be a string other than its name, so this serves that purpose.

Thank you!

I wonder why they didn't do call it like all the other conversion actions: CONVERT GAMEOBJECT TO STRING 

[Lane]

Because a game object cannot be a string. It can only contain a name, which coincidentally is a string.

So you can't technically convert it to a string like you could a float, or int, or bool as those are already text based.

Mhhh I see what you mean.
The gameobject name is the container of the data, and its data can't be converted to a string, differently from all other variable types 

But on another point of view, if I have a variable named HIT OBJ and this variable contains gameobject BUILDING_01, I have 2 types of data identified by that object: the object data itself, which is complex, and its name.
So it wouldn't be so wrong to call it conversion as well, I think.
Like CONVERT GAMEOBJECT NAME TO STRING in example.

Hi,

 but the gameObject name IS a string already. Simply use the action "GetName"
