Unit name string.

I need the unit name of a unit that is in a unit-type variable to be set in another variable that is a string.

Now to clearify:

I have a unit-type variable array. The second Unit-type in the array is "Fel Orc Peon" but if you change the unit-type from the variable into a text string to display the unit-type it will show "chaospeon", so what I want is to know how I could do a "Set variable" action that would set my String Variable to "Fel Orc Peon" when it refrences my unit-type array #2. I got as far as:

Set variable UnitNameString = Unit - Unit name (triggering unit)

But I can't change "triggering unit" to my unit-type array. Any help would be appreciated.

How about creating an invisibilified unit of the proper type in a corner somewhere, getting its name, and then removing it again?
