Question: How to get textual representation of MonoBehaviour type?

[UserUnknownFactor]

For example UABE can show the type like this: 0xFFFFFFFF (MonoBehaviour : UnityEngine.UI.Image (UnityEngine.UI.dll)).
Is there a way to reproduce this with UnityPy?
I don't really know specifics of the storage so I couldn't find where this information is...

I'm not sure how UABE links to the dlls and I never bothered with it, since most modern games use il2cpp.

Usually, MonoBehaviour objects contain a custom type tree that is used as a variable input for specific functions.
The use is quite diverse, e.g. as instruction set for how to assemble and transform multiple images for a UI, as a list for all game asset files, .....

The reference to a function of a dll isn't necessary either and if it exists, it's saved as a string.

Yay, found it. It turns out UABE shows namespace and assembly_name of the underlying MonoScript object there. That got me confused. And the MonoScript always have them so they can be used like that. It's nice to know that MonoBehaviours can contain TypeName though.

Here is the code for AssetBatchConverter.py I used to extract MonoBehaviours into separate folders by their corresponding namespace:

def export_obj(obj, fpath: str, asset: str) -> list:
  format = obj.type
  if format not in TYPES: return []

  data = obj.read()
  name = data.name if (data.name is not None and data.name != '') else "unnamed asset"
  fname, extension = os.path.splitext(name)

  name = "%s-%s-%d" % (fname, asset, obj.path_id)
  fp = os.path.join(fpath, name)

  elif format == 'MonoBehaviour':
    extension = ".dat"
    script = data.script.read()
    if not script: return [obj.path_id]
    fp = os.path.join(fpath, script.namespace, script.class_name, name)
    os.makedirs(os.path.dirname(fp), exist_ok=True)
    with open(f"{fp}{extension}", "wb") as f: f.write(data.get_raw_data())
    return [obj.path_id]
