resolve

Retrieves an object by its ID and returns a reference to the corresponding object manager.

This method is used to retrieve an object that has already been created, but for which you don't have a reference to the ObjectManager instance. This can be useful, for example, when the object was created by another script.

Syntax

engine.objects.resolveObject(object);

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
id	string	The ID of the object to retrieve
forceUpdate?	boolean	Whether or not to force the object to update its data (optional)

Returns

• Promise<ObjectManager> - A promise that resolves to the reference to the ObjectManager instance for the specified object, or null if the object is not found.

Example

script1.js

const box = engine.objects.create('box', {
    id: 'my-box'
})

...

script2.js

const box = await engine.objects.resolve('my-box');

...
