I am not able to find it. Thanks. Post by frootee // Aug 26, 2008, 5:55pm frootee Total Posts: 2667 Hi J90. Choose Direction: OUT Type: string name: your choice (example: strMyName) Then in jscript command code, use this: params.ConValue("strMyName") = System.ThisName(); make sure you have the capitalization with the System command. Post by J90 // Aug 26, 2008, 10:24pm J90 Total Posts: 107 Thanks Frootee, I meant in a non-script object such as a primitive node like in this picture below. It has an attribute called Object Name. What attribute type was used? This is actually part of the physEvent 3. Under C:\<trueSpace directory here>\tS\PDFMan\resources\chapter11 Thanks again. Post by frootee // Aug 27, 2008, 2:12am frootee Total Posts: 2667 Hi J90. I would say, the string type was used. But I don't think I'm answering your question... What are you trying to achieve specifically? That may help me/us guide you in the right direction. Thanks! Froo Post by J90 // Aug 27, 2008, 5:00pm J90 Total Posts: 107 Basically trying to make an object's physics enabled after two different objects collide with eachother. For example two spheres collide triggering an event which then activates another objects physics. from what I seen in the physevent3 scene I need to be able to get an objects name which is auto-filled in by an attribute. I am sorry I am not able to explain it any better.

You can then hook the Object Name output to your Event. Post by J90 // Aug 28, 2008, 12:01pm J90 Total Posts: 107 Thanks frootee and trueblue
