Again, the original post asks for the name of the region, not region by name. And it was discussed above already there's a RegionFromId function, doesn't appear to be anything for the name, surprisingly.

I just created them.. basic programming

@Nurdguy: Go Depending on what you want, there is a more efficient way of doing this. If you only need to look up a region by name, not the name of a region, then you can use DataTableSetRegion(preset scope, string name, region value);

Original question was specifically for getting the name of a given region...

Examine the regions in the terrain editor of the attached sample map then run it and move your marine through the regions. It'll announce when you enter/leave each one.

Also note that I'm not reporting the same names as in the editor - I don't see a way of getting those - when you set up the names in the data you can name them whatever you want.

I'm not sure I see the purpose behind this. If you explain what you're trying to accomplish there might be a better way of doing it. Especially since you have to setup an entering/leaving event for each individual region.. it might be easier to have a separate trigger for each region and then have them call another trigger or function for any shared functionality. Unless you're dynamically creating regions..

I don't see any region from name functions or triggers. There is a RegionFromId function in galaxy which is used when doing Set Variable with type Region.

I believe the IDs are simple increments from 1 to numRegions. It would be possible then to manually create an array of region names and do your own lookup in galaxy script. Seems like a lot of work, but if you really absolutely need the name...

const numRegions = 10;
string[numRegions+1] regionNames;
regionnames[1] = "First Region Name";
// ... etc

string getRegionName(region myRegion) {
  int i;
  for ( i = 1; i < numRegions; i += 1 ) {
    if ( myRegion == GetRegionFromId(i) ) {
      return regionNames[i];
    }
  }
  return "";
}
