[info]How to get the label of the current computer

Hello all, I have been currently using the ID of each computer to identify the locations that my program transports players between. However, it would allow for a lot more flexibility if the computer label could be used instead of the computer ID.

Is there a way to retrieve the current computer label as a variable? Thanks.

Could you be more specific, from what I'm understanding from this you're teleporting players with a program? If so whats wrong with using the computers ID, to define a ID as a variable do

 local myVariableForTheComputer = 10 --The computer ID 

From there you can set it up to have your 'teleporting computers' check with a main system computer for the ID Label or something.

yes it is possible to get the computer's label, using os.getComputerLabel. You are also able to set the computer's label with os.setComputerLabel.
