Methods

IsDisposed()

Dispose()

GetIndex()

gets the editor index of the map element.

note: the value returned will be 0-indexed, like the map format, whereas the tables in Lua start at 1.

note 2: this number can change any time you add or remove map elements. sometimes elements are added at the beginning or middle instead of the end. the manner in which it changes is unpredictable and subject to change between doom builder versions.
