PhysicsProfileCounterName$ ( counter )

Parameters

counter - one-based ID from 1 through CountPhysicsProfileCounters()

Description

Returns the stable counter label as a String.

This needs no world or captured snapshot; invalid IDs raise a runtime error.

Counter IDs mix current population, latest native work and lifetime peaks, as described below. Population changes without stepping can therefore coexist with timings from the preceding step. Work fields may retain the previous collision/worker-context result when no new work updates that stage. These are not all cumulative counters.

World arguments must be live explicit physics worlds; invalid, stale and wrong-kind handles raise a runtime error. Metric indices are one-based and checked before returning values. Captures are rejected while the world is stepping.

Requires Extended mode.
