Looking for getter methods for SceneObject's

There are a number of "setter methods" for SceneObject, but I am not finding where the corresponding "getter methods" are.

e.g. getName(), getPosition(), getRotation(), isVisible(), etc...

    Hi, we don't provide those getter APIs, however if you used an entity to create your SceneObject by attaching a Mesh component, you can get the Transform and Visible components of that entity to get the values of the SceneObject. Here's an example:

    val myEntity = Entity.create(Mesh(Uri.parse("example.glb")), Transform(Pose(Vector3(1f, 2f, 3f))), Visible())

// This will create a SceneObject
// Sometime later (at least one tick)
val mySceneObject = systemManager.findSystem<SceneObjectSystem>().getSceneObject(myEntity)

val myTransform = myEntity.getComponent<Transform>().transform
val myPosition = myTransform.t
val myRotation = myTransform.q

val myVisible =myEntity.getComponent<Visible>()

// example of changing isVisible to false
myVisible.isVisible = false
myEntity.setComponent(myVisible)


    Hopefully this answers your question. Let me know if you need any more help
