Get an Object

[yurembo]

How to get an object (which was made in the editor) from the scene to control it programmatically (from a script)?

Unfortunately, the documentation for the Scene class is very short. There's only one example for the LoadScene method. When running, it produces an error:

This example shows how to create a Scene object in code, but the question remains: how to retrieve it from a map file, which was created in the editor?

 

Scene:GetEntity is described well. 

Is the UUID always unique? Does it never change? How is it generated? Is it some kind of COM identifier?

this transformation does not work:

mesh = NavMesh(nav_mesh)-- nav_mesh is Entity, but NavMesh
s = type(mesh)-- s = nil

Navmeshes are stored in the scene. See the Monster script for an example.

OK, I'll consider this file.

How can I get a map from the file?

While I'm reading the source code I see that Map and Scene are the same.

The scene object is passed in the script Load function. You can get the navmesh there.
