There is no reason to use
GetObjectType() at all with your example.
The purpose of
GetObjectType() is to return the type of object that is associated with a custom #LIGHTUSERDATA identifier (created by using Hollywood's Automatic ID selection).
In your example, you are assigning a layer name (which always needs to be a string). Layers are the only objects that can have #STRING names. So if you use your example:
TextOut(10, 10,"a", {name="text1", Color=#Black})
...you now have a layer with the name "text1".
If you want to know what type of layer "text1" is, then GetAttribute(#LAYER, "text1", #ATTRTYPE) will give you that information.
