Getting a name string

[Mergon]

Ok, on an adjustment I have it set up on pChosen2 to selected a Damage Resistance from the drop down. No problem. But how do you get the name of the selected item?

I've tried the following:
field[pChosen2].chosen.field[livename].text
field[pChosen2].chosen.field[thingname].text

Is there way to get the name off the DamageRes.? where the ? is the element selected (i.e.; dtFire would give Fire)?

The adjustment I'm trying to create is on a cantrip Makeshift Wand. This cantrip turns a small, 1-handed , holdable item into a wand. The item can then fire a single bolt of elemental damage based on the choice you have made.

Basically the item's livename should look something like this:

Makeshift wand (2d6 fire damage).

What I keep getting is:

Makeshift wand (2d6 ???? damage).

Eval script Render, Priority: 10000

~ If we're not enabled, get out now
doneif (field[pIsOn].value = 0)
~ If nothing's been chosen, get out now
doneif (field[pChosen].ischosen = 0)
~ If nothing's been chosen, get out now
doneif (field[pChosen2].ischosen = 0)

var iHD as number
var iDice as number
var sText as string
var sElement as string
iHD = #totallevelcount[]

if (iHD >= 17) then
iDice = 4
elseif (iHD >= 11) then
iDice = 3
elseif (iHD >= 5) then
iDice = 2
else
iDice = 1
endif

sElement = field[pChosen2].chosen.field[thingname].text
~sElement = right (sElement, length (sElement)-2)

sText = iDice & "d8 " & sElement & " damage."

field[pChosen].chosen.field[DescAppend].text = sText

field[pChosen].chosen.field[livename].text = "Makeshift wand (" & field[pChosen].chosen.field[thingname].text & ", " & sText & ")"

As they are Things you may need to use field[name].text

tagnames[DamageRes.?] if you have multiple tags you will get multiple names.

But if this is a "thing" I am not 100% sure tagnames will work actually...

field[name].text

^^ Did the trick, many thanks. Not a field name I knew of. Added to my list of references.
