How to call a script function from outside the Babylonjs Editor?

Questions
1

Say I have a script like this which I’ve attached to the scene object:

import { Scene, Color4, Mesh } from 'babylonjs';

export default class Teleporter implements IScript {
    constructor (public mesh: Mesh, public scene: Scene) {

    }

    public start (): void {
        // You can access the attached object everywhere
        console.log("SCENE",this.mesh);
    }

    public teleport(location): void {
        console.log("Now changing 3D location: "+location);
    }

    public update (deltaTimeMs: number): void {
        // Your code...
    }

    public dispose (): void {
        // Called once the attached object has been disposed
    }
}

// Export the script as an attached script
// (attached to a node or scene)
exportScript(Teleporter);

How can I call the teleport() function from outside of that script? Like say from game.ts or from the script of another object.

Hey @ozRocker
Sorry for the delay.

Has mentioned in other posts, the babylonjs editor v3 hasn’t been designed to support that kind of feature. I would say support that kind of feature in clean way.

Anyway, you send messages to nodes that have attached scripts using the “babylonjs-editor-extensions” module:

import { Extensions } from "babylonjs-editor-extensions";

Extensions.Tools.sendMessage(myNodeReference, "teleport");

You can also give arguments to the function next to the function name, like:

import { Extensions } from "babylonjs-editor-extensions";

Extensions.Tools.sendMessage(myNodeReference, "teleport", param1, param2, etc.);

Hope this will do the trick :slight_smile:

How could I import “babylonjs-editor-extensions” ? I tried with npm but it didn’t find it…

Thanks !

Hey @moko_maracucho
I just don’t understand how that is possible but the « babylonjs-editor-extensions » package just disappeared from npm :frowning:

Have you heard from the V4 ?
It is available here http://editor.babylonjs.com/ with some documentation still WIP here Editor/doc.md at release/4.0.0 · BabylonJS/Editor · GitHub

I think you will prefer working with the editor V4
Please note that V3 projects are not compatible with V4 projects :slight_smile:
