Storing Map Name as Variable?

[JtheDuelist]

I was wanting to store a map's name as a variable via the script call $game_map.name, but I keep getting this error:

undefined method `name` for # < Game_Map: 0xf849018>

How do I fix this?

That isn't a script call is why you're getting an error. You can get the display name with $gameMap.displayName()

I don't think there's a function to return the name (I can't check right now).

This should do it:

var mapId = $gameMap.mapId();
var name = $dataMapInfos[mapId].name;

Hopefully someone else can interject if there's a better way to get that. I can't remember right now

@Palin I am not using a display name on my maps as my actor HUD is blocking where it would be displayed. I just want the map's database name to show.

This should do it:

var mapId = $gameMap.mapId();
var name = $dataMapInfos[mapId].name;

The problem is not doing in a better way, that is how MV hadnles things but this is a thread for VX Ace (unless this has been posted in the wrong place). XD

The correct call for VX Ace is

$game_map.display_name

No, this is the right place, as my 29th Birthday Event project is VX Ace.
That worked:

Spoiler: What I needed it for

EDIT: Nevermind- I figured out how to disable display names.

Thanks again, Heirukichi.
