STUDIO: Getting children in the order of the Hierarchy rather than eid

🧑‍💻 Technical Support
1

Can we get an array of children in the order reflected in the hierarchy? world.GetChildren() returns a Generator that is ordered by eid. I also tried world.three.entityToObject.get(parent).children but that returns a similar array. They’re ordered alphabetically as name_NUMBER, but I can’t seem to access the name to sort by.

Any pointers?

I have the same problem, bumping up this thread

An order is available as ecs.ThreeObject.get(world, eid).order.

Keep in mind this isn’t exactly the hierarchy order but it is a way to keep track of which objects are where.

so if I had the eid of a root entity how can I get the eid of it’s children?

for (const child of world.GetChildren()) {
 console.log(child)
}

Should work
