RMMV drawText from Array outputs as [object Object]

[jacobiwan]

I am attempting to pull the name of a characters equipped item from an array and outputting it to a menu via drawText:

if ($gameActors.actor(index + 1).equips()[6] == null) {
var rune = "No Rune";
} else {
var rune = $gameActors.actor(index + 1).equips()[6];
};

this.drawText(rune, x, bottom - lineHeight * 2, width);

When no item is equipped in that slot, it outputs "No Rune" as expected, but when an item is equipped to that slot, it doesn't output the name or even the ID of the item, it outputs "[object Object]"

Hello, it return the whole item object in the actor equip slot 6.
Try $gameActors.actor(index + 1).equips()[6].name

Hello, it return the whole item object in the actor equip slot 6.
Try $gameActors.actor(index + 1).equips()[6].name

Thank you! It worked, I figured it was because the object had multiple properties. How would I go about finding out the properties an object in the future? Thank you again, and sorry if I'm supposed to open a new thread for expanding questions. I'm new to this forum.

Hello again!
You can turn the object into a string using: JSON.stringify(object)
or you can use the method Object.keys(object) which returns an array containing all the properties name.
