Trying to get the entity number from object number.
But always getting error message: "ObjectToEntity" is nil

I've tried so far a new map with just one barrel

local P = require "scriptbank\\physlib"
Text(33,33,3, "o2e ; "..ObjectToEntity( g_Entity[e]['obj'] ) )

Next tried;
Text(33,33,3, "o2e ; "..ObjectToEntity( 70002 ) )

Still nil -- any help?

If you try to get some info from some entity, that entity should be dynamic.

it is P.ObjectToEntity( obj )
so
local P = require "scriptbank\\physlib"
Text(33,33,3, "o2e ; "..P.ObjectToEntity( g_Entity[e]['obj'] ) )

Wot smallg said.

Plus don't try to use that function in the _init function of your scripts, the first time it is called must come after all entities have been initialised so that the g_Entity list is fully populated.

When the _init function is called the only g_Entity list entry that is guaranteed to be populated is the one for that entity.

Been there, done that, got all the T-Shirts!
