Can I find out name of currently playing audio stream?

Question

Is there some function like:

var x = getstreamname()

in Godot and how to use them?

Answer 1

If you want the full path of the stream:

$AudioStreamPlayer2D.stream.resource_path

If you are only interested in the filename:

$AudioStreamPlayer2D.stream.resource_path.get_file()

If you want to remove the file's extension:

$AudioStreamPlayer2D.stream.resource_path.get_file().get_basename()

Thank you very much, but I need to find out the name of the node. The thing is, I have 100 audio streams and in one function I select one to play according to a certain key. And I need to find out the name of the selected stream retrospectively (in another function).

What now? The name of the node (Which node? The AudioStreamPlayer-node?)? That's simple: $AudioStreamPlayer2D.name. Or the name of the stream? That's what I have described in my answer. Not sure what else you might be looking for...

If you want to keep track of which AdioStreamPlayer-node is playing, simply save the active node to a variable and access it through that variable. It's hard to provide you with concrete advice regarding that without knowing your code though.

print( $AudioStreamPlayer.get_name() )
I've already solved it yet, but thank you very much!
