I’d like to store an array of entities (or their ids) created with the BuildEntityButton (bebutton). My understanding is that

bebutton.createdEntity.entityId

should give me a unique id since the bebutton.createdEntity is supposed to contain the newly created entity. In fact, the log output shows unique ids in the line

EntityManager: entity created with entityId: obstacle_12

However, the code above always returns the same id. What’s the reason for this?

Cheers, Martin

Hi Martin,

the createdEntity property holds a prototype of the entity that gets created, not the actual entity that was created after releasing it.

We are adding a parameter builtEntityId to the entityWasBuilt signal, holding the entityId of the entity that was built. It will be available within our next daily build.

Then you can use it like this:

onEntityWasBuilt: console.log("created entityId: "+builtEntityId)

Cheers,
Alex

Ok, that would be great.
