Syntax:
 
<syntaxhighlight>
 
getObject("path[object, error]")
 
</syntaxhighlight>
 
 
 
 
 
Example 1: Quick getObject method; you must take care when using this method, that your project does not contain multiple objects with the same name.
 
<syntaxhighlight>
 
-- This method is unsafe because it accesses all the condition/value tables associated with the project
 
getObject("Conditions[condition_name]") -- get a condition
 
getObject("Values[value_name]") -- get a value
 
getObject("Actions[action_name]") -- get an action
 
getObject("Animations[animation_name]") -- get an animation
 
</syntaxhighlight>
 
 
 
Example 2: Full getObject method.
 
<syntaxhighlight>
 
-- * scenes * --
 
getObject("Scenes[scene_name].SceneConditions[condition_name]") -- get condition linked to a scene
 
getObject("Scenes[scene_name].SceneObjects[object_name].ObjectConditions[condition_name]") -- get condition linked to a scene object
 
getObject("Scenes[scene_name].SceneValues[value_name]") -- get value linked to a scene
 
getObject("Scenes[scene_name].SceneObjects[object_name].ObjectValues[value_name]") -- get value linked to a scene object
 
getObject("Scenes[scene_name].SceneActions[action_name]") --
 
getObject("scenes[scene_name].SceneObjects[object_name].ObjectAnimations[animation_name]") -- get animation linked to a scene object
 
-- * characters * --
 
getObject("Characters[character_name].CharacterConditions[condition_name]") -- get condition linked to a character
 
getObject("Characters[character_name].CharacterValues[value_name]") -- get value linked to a character
 
getObject("Characters[character_name].CharacterActions[action_name]") -- get action linked to a character
 
getObject("Characters[character_name].CharacterOutfits[outfit_name].OutfitCharacterAnimations[animation_name]") -- get animation linked to a character
 
-- etc...
