### Basic Name

This trait allows you to override the BasicName property of the Basic Piece with a specific basic name for the piece. Useful when you wish to define a piece entirely using Prototypes, it allows the empty default Basic Piece to be ignored entirely, since the Basic Name trait already fills the basic name field.

SEE ALSO: Prototypes, Basic Piece

Name:

  The basic name of this piece. This name will be used to fill the BasicName property of the piece.

A Prototype defining a Basic Name for its pieces.
