Determine currently acquired resources

What is the preferred method of determining whether a token has acquired a shared resource or not?

In custom code, I need to determine if a given token has acquired certain resources. I currently test whether the node name returns 'NULL' or not. This works but seems inefficient...

if (getname(getlabel(token,"myresource")) == "NULL") { // do something }

Thanks,

Stan

If the label exists when you have acquired the resource and doesn't exist if you haven't, then the following two lines would return true if the resource has been acquired.

getlabel(token, "myresource") != nullvar
or
objectexists(label(token, "myresource"))

@Stan Davis If your resource is a 3D object you can use objectexists()
