A few questions.

( LUA ) 

I'm trying to preform a few simple tasks with no luck whatsoever.

1) Get and Set an Entities NAME.

2) Cycle through a worlds Entity list.

3) Create a custom Collision Type

4) Get a single Entities TAG (  collidedEntity:GetTag() ) does not exist or collidedEntity:GetName() or something. 

5) When using World:GetTaggedEntities() what suffix is the handle in the LUA table ?
 For example:

self.UAGCLadders = world:GetTaggedEntities("UAGCLADDER")

Theres no example or documentation telling me what handle this data is stored under in the table. Ex:  self.UAGCLadders.WHATGOESHERE ?

I can cycle the table like self.UAGCLadders[1] but its much easier not keeping track of table lengths. #self.UAGCLadders.

        for t=1, #self.UAGCLadders do

        end

 

Appreciate any help you may be able to give. I've been stuck on these for a few days now.

1)  entity.name = "name"

2) Only in maps - map.entities. For World only tagged and in area

3) Just set an integer bigger than 6 with Entity:SetCollisionType. btw @Josh CollisionType enum seems being not exposed in LUA

local NEW_COLLISION = 7

box1:SetCollisionType(NEW_COLLISION)

4) No GetTag() atm but it should be possible to iterate entity.tags but in my test example it return nil so probably not exposed in LUA @Josh

5) Not sure what you mean

Maybe you want that:

for n, entity in pairs(world:GetTaggedEntities("tag")) do
    local entity = Entity(entity)
    Print(entity.name)
end

Outstanding, appreciated.
