I found a piece of code that creates a spawnStruct() which, as I am aware, is designed to create objects information, like .something:
myStruct = spawnStruct();
Now, my question is, how does one goes to knowing what to call that myStruct outside of that scope.
For instance, the game created an struct and now I want to retrieve it's name so I can use it somewhere else, since it was not a level. or self. type of variable I can't just use myStruct, so I was wondering if I re-created that thread, what would I have to do to print out it's name, so I can work with it outside the game, and applying it to my own function.

It doesnt have a name... Do you understand what i am telling you? Structs are just reserved memory spots.... They arent physical entities, nor can you just get them. You must either get it from the level superobject or get it on return. There is a getstructarray method, but that does not apply to local structs.

What do you mean name?
Like myStruct.name?
