Hello,

I know that you can get entity ID now by just hovering over the entity in the editor and it shows the ID in the status bar.

Is there any way to know the entity id (not the entity object number) of any dynamic object into your game level, just using a Lua script ?

in this link talk about it.. but the linlks are broken.

Thanks for your time.

happens to us all
but yes 'e' is the entity ID
and
g_Entity[e]['obj'] is the AI object number (used for some of the AI commands).

i just spent 30mins trying to work out how to play an animation in unity because the docs say Play("string = animation name") but really it required the index - i.e. Play(0)... good documentation is hard to come by
