Key Methods

How It Works

1. Calls getMissionFilename() to get the full path of the current level's mission file.
2. Uses path.split() to extract the directory portion.
3. Parses the directory string with a pattern (.*/)(.*)/ to extract the level's folder name as devName.
4. Outputs all three values as strings.

Usage Example

-- Get the current level name for conditional logic:
-- [Get Level Data] → devName → [String Compare] == "gridmap_v2"
--                                → true → [Enable GridMap Features]

-- Use the directory for file operations:
-- [Get Level Data] → directory → [Concat String] + "custom_data.json"
--                                → [Load File]
