Fairly long time lurker here, first post that I've had to write because there's usually an answer, but this time I can't seem to find one.

Is there a way to find the name of the lua script that's attached to each entity, in a list, search function, or anything like that? I've created a map and put a script on an entity early on, but now I've added so many entities that I can't find the entity I attached the original script to. This may seem like a noob mistake, but that's because I am a noob. I've been putting entities I can't miss in newer maps I'm creating, but can I rectify this early mistake somehow or do I have to just search through the haystack for the single needle? I've seen that there's a list of entities that appears in the mapbank file for a map, but it doesn't look like it has the scripts attached (it could be that I just haven't seen them though, as I didn't want to mess around with too much code). I think you get the idea - dumb noob loses place.

If anyone can help with my rookie mistake, it'd be much appreciated!

Edit the script and add the following line to the _main function:

PromptLocal( e, "Here I am: " .. GetEntityName( e ) )

Run test game and go hunt it down.
Been there, done that, got all the T-Shirts!

if you still can't find it you could also use
SetFreezePosition(g_Entity[e].x,g_Entity[e].y,g_Entity[e].z)
TransportToFreezePositionOnly()
to teleport the player to the object running the script in the game.

but no, there's no real easy way to find specific objects outside of test game in classic
