How to find the name of a sprite for create by name

Hello;

Suppose I have two sprites, baseBall and softBall and they are both members of the ball family.

Is the name baseBall stored somewhere so I can use it (for saving as json) in the baseBall sprite or do I have to put a character string variable in and call it "baseBall" in order to create by name later on when I load this member of the ball family from a json string?

thanks for your time.

thanks newt.

If my baseBall is a member of sportsEquip and the Ball family how do I load it from Jason?

Do I save it as baseBall (since it is both a sportsEquip family and a Ball family) then when it comes time to load from json do I create by name "baseBall" but then load by json after casting it as sportsEquip or Ball)? Ie which load from json should I use after I create it?

To get to the sportequip casting do I use Pick by last create (since I just created "baseball" so the last creation of sportequip was in fact a "baseball". Or should I Pick by last created and use the Ball family? Or does it matter?

thanks for your time.

yours

Anything you want to do to it needs to be done when you create it.
