Entities

Entities are the individual objects that make up the scene. The entities include the objects in the scene that have behaviours, can be interacted with, and may move around the scene. Entities are linked to leaf nodes on the structure graph, and the link may move from node to node as their virtual position in the game or simulation changes.

Entities generally have a number of properties that define the entity, some of which may change throughout the game. The effects of behaviours may be realized by changing the entities properties, affecting how an entity can be used and possibly its appearance during the game.

The entity node exposes the entities properties so that they can be edited by behaviours to change the scene.
