Hey fellow newbie :)

This is one of the things I do know, so I will help you out.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
For use in scripts:

null#.getName();

or

null#.getShapeName();
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
For use in the console:

echo(null#.getName());

or

echo(null#.getShapeName());
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
The null # is the number the floats on or above the player/object in the F11 editor mode.

And most scripts I have seen grab the null # automatically.
