Forums » Help » Get property values from player entity

How do I access the property values of my player from other entities?

I only have one instance of the main player defined as game.entities.player. I have other entities that need to change their behaviour depending on the properties of the main player so I need a way to access those properties.

Try ig.game.getEntitiesByType() or ig.game.getEntityByName(). For example, in your EntityPlayer's update():

update: function(){
    var enemy = ig.game.getEntitiesByType( EntityEnemy )[0];
    if( enemy.pos.x > player.pos.x ){
        //do something
    }
}

Thanks for the response. I'm only a day into using Impact so will be asking some stupid questions.
