Constants

Methods

getProperty

(obj: any, name: string | symbol): any | undefined

Gets property of obj by its name.

Equivalent of const name = "..."; var val = obj.(name);

setProperty

(obj: any, name:string | symbol, val: any): any | undefined

Sets property of obj by its name.

Equivalent of const name = "..."; obj.(name) = val;

entityId

(entity: any) : integer

Returns "unique" identifier of an entity. For heap allocated entities (object, array, string, etc) it returns some sequential number (int32).  For value types (integer, float, length, etc.) it returns value of hash(entity). Note that uniqueness of id is not strict - there is very low but still probability of conflicts.

Properties

unhandledExceptionHandler

for (var task in VM.pendingAsyncTasks)
  debug task: task.function.fullName;
