Checking for existance of a dynamically created entity
« on: March 09, 2012, 05:13:18 PM »
Probably and obvious one, but how can I query the engine to test is a dynamically created entity is still valid/active, the scenario is that I have a method running which wants to carry even though I have left the scene, and it try to issue a SkipTo directive to an entity which has been destroyed as the entity is created by the Scene object.

If you keep a reference to the entity in some variable, the variable will become 'null' when the entity is destroyed.
