UI Button Click Not Triggering State Change in 8thWall Studio ECS

[GeorgeButler]

@Maartje_Simons

    const btnEl = ecs.get(world, startBtn).el
    btnEl.addEventListener('click', () => {
      console.log('🟢 Start button clicked → switching to GAME')
      ecs.enterState(world, 'game')
    })

This bit is incorrect. This is similar to A-Frame but it won’t work in Studio since the elements are not HTML. You instead need to store a reference to the entity in the component schema and then access it with schemaAttribute.

This YouTube video I recorded will shed some light on to do this as well:
