Editor children can not be found with Lua

[AggrorJorn]

I have a Pivot with a camera as child. This is done in the editor.

 

When I attach a script to the Pivot with the following code in the start function, it tells me that are no children:

function Script:Start()

--Count children
count = self.entity:CountChildren();
System:Print(count)

--Find the camera child
camera = self.entity:FindChild("camera")
if camera == nil then
System:Print("Camera child not found")
end
end

 

If I do this with C++ then it does work. It will tell me that there is one child that I can also access by name.

I noticed this a while back also.

You can work around using something like this:

Yeah, we worked around this. I hate saying that because I don't want Josh to think it's not important then that he fix it asap because this is a pretty basic feature of the editor.

 

Will need to test if getting the parent works as I'll need that.

Just a basic as moving multiple selected items to other folders in the structure. Right now you can move only one object at the time.

I don't see any reason in the code this would be happening. Can you post an example?

[AggrorJorn]

Odd, I can no longer repdroduce it. NVM then if I find, I will let you know.

FIXED!

 

I think it actually is, since I recently did some changes related to this.
