LUA: self.entity:FindChild("p*") returns nil, self.entity:FindChild("p*", results) does not exist.

I am trying to get all Entities children that start with a name:

 

function MyComponent:Start()

    local targets = self.entity:FindChild("p*")

end

 

This does not work. targets will always be "nil".

and as in the documentation

 

function MyComponent:Start()

    local results

    local targets = self.entity:FindChild("p*", results)

end

 

does not work because there is no function with that amount of arguments.

What works is using the full name without any placeholders:

 

function MyComponent:Start()

    local targets = self.entity:FindChild("p1")

end

You can get all kids like that as workaround for now

self.entity.kids

For some reason the wildcard matching was disabled. I fixed this.

The command for finding multiple entities is FindChildren. I am updating the documentation now.
