To return the name of the unit that was given to in in the editor's "name" field, call up the unit's object with a format statement:
Example:
In the editor, create the following:

• an empty vehicle named "car1"
• a unit named "jack", with this init line: "this moveInDriver car1"
• a radio trigger with this activation line: "hint format["%1",driver car1]"

Calling the trigger will then return the name the unit: "jack"
