I found a piece of code that creates a spawnStruct() which, as I am aware, is designed to create objects information, like .something:
myStruct = spawnStruct();
Now, my question is, how does one goes to knowing what to call that myStruct outside of that scope.
For instance, the game created an struct and now I want to retrieve it's name so I can use it somewhere else, since it was not a level. or self. type of variable I can't just use myStruct, so I was wondering if I re-created that thread, what would I have to do to print out it's name, so I can work with it outside the game, and applying it to my own function.

You must use level to declare a global variable or return the struct from the function. There is no other way, as a local struct is lost after exiting the function.

Look, here's the thread I am looking at:
generate_zombie_buildable_piece( buildablename, modelname, radius, height, drop_offset, hud_icon, onpickup, ondrop, use_spawn_num, part_name, can_reuse, client_field_state, buildable_slot )
{
precachemodel( modelname );
precacheshader( hud_icon );
piece = spawnstruct();
buildable_pieces = [];
buildable_pieces_structs = getstructarray( buildablename + "_" + modelname, "targetname" );
/#
println( "ERROR: Missing buildable piece <" + buildablename + "> <" + modelname + ">\n" );
#/
foreach ( struct in buildable_pieces_structs )
{
buildable_pieces[index] = struct;
buildable_pieces[index].hasspawned = 0;
}
piece.spawns = buildable_pieces;
piece.buildablename = buildablename;
piece.modelname = modelname;
piece.hud_icon = hud_icon;
piece.radius = radius;
piece.height = height;
piece.part_name = part_name;
piece.can_reuse = can_reuse;
piece.drop_offset = drop_offset;
piece.max_instances = 256;
piece.buildable_slot = buildable_slot;
piece.buildable_slot = 0;
piece.onpickup = onpickup;
piece.ondrop = ondrop;
piece.use_spawn_num = use_spawn_num;
piece.client_field_state = client_field_state;
return piece;
}
I can save level.piece before the
return piece;
but how can I print the name of "piece" or know the entity name, so I can modify it without the need of creating it?

Like, I can use level.piece, and it works, but I can't print the name, my main goal is to know the entity name so I can use it somewhere else, outside this thread. but first I need to know how to get it's name.
