The world applet allows for querying, editing and selecting entities in the DataModel or ECS.

world

get_entity_from_part

Function used to obtain the Entity when given a Part from Workspace. When used with the highlighting functionality of jabby, users will be able to select and highlight an Instance with their associated model in Workspace.

entities Deprecated

A deprecated way for jabby to obtain the Instance a user is trying to select, by directly mapping each Instance to an entity.
