My Player encountered a character I didn't even know was in my map. I have no idea where it is and I can't seem to find it.

I heard there was a way to locate specific entities, but I can't figure out how.

Does anyone know?

Make sure that Allow Selection of Detailed Objects List is checked (Edit>Settings under the Advanced tab). Go to your Level Objects (top-left panel) and look for the down-facing arrow (Add, search bar, then arrow). Click that and from the list select "Detailed Object List". Once you do that, the Level Objects panel will now show a list of all item types in your level. You can twirl each open to reveal how many of a type (i.e. if you see an arrow with Light after it, twirling that down will reveal a list of all lights in your level). Double click any of the objects (such as one of the lights) and the viewport will zoom to that object and it will be selected for you.

Thanks for tip. Can I delete an object from the "detailed objects list"?

I have a play sound trigger buried in the terrain and a couple odds and ends. I can highlight them but cannot delete, lol.

Select the object in the detailed object's list and press the delete key while your cursor is in the editor window.

Thanks @Kraven W

Worked on a few. The page up/page down keys will raise and lower objects if you cannot click through with mouse. Have my map all cleaned up.
