Is it possible to remove a part of a name given to a GameObject? For instance:

Im instantiating gameobjects for the use of bullets. I give them the name of the player shooting the bullet. So if a player’s name is “Ben”, his bullets are called Ben’s bullet.

gameObject.name = playerName + “'s
bullet”;

Now I’m trying to use this name to know wich person gives the finishing blow to an other player. And to do this I want find the player object with the same name as the bullet, and update his kill count. So I want to remove the “'s bullet” part from the bullets name.

So long story short: Is it possible to remove a part of a name given to a GameObject?

Hope that this is clear enough en help is really appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Edit: This is the part where the name has to change:

if(other.gameObject.tag == “bullet”){

  		var colBullet = other.transform.name;
  		playerHealth = playerHealth - 5;
  		
  		if(playerHealth <= 0){
  			onDie();
  			//colBullet = colBullet - "'s bullet";
  			GameObject.Find(colBullet);
  		} 			}

The name of the collided object is put in the colBullet variable. I printed it and it says: Playername’s bullet. This works but now the only thing it needs is the 's bullet being removed

Yes... it´s the same you are already using

gameObject.name = someString;

Try this one:

 gameObject.name = gameObject.name.Remove(gameObject.name.IndexOf("'"));
