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
Example 2: Full getObject method.

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
