I'm going to have multiple entities in a scene that are really the same entity like:
global ent1 = Scene.LoadEntity("entities\lift\thing.entity");
global ent2 = Scene.LoadEntity("entities\lift\thing.entity");

In the script, is there a way to find out which variable compares to the entity like:

if (this == ent1)
{ do something;}

edit:  Hmm.  I think it might just be simpler to use separate scene entities.  The logic is kind of complicated.

I stand to be corrected, but I think you should be able to do such a comparison because the object variables are really references, so you could have two or more variables pointing to the same object, and you can compare any two (or use the 'this' reference) to compare whether they are the same object instance.

You could use different entities pointing to the same graphic files. It's cleaner and it doesn't make the project any bigger.

Yeah, I'm going to do that with scene entities.  I can always check the name that way, even if I use the same script.
