• Allow game scripts to locate an element in the game world using the anchor name.

This example defines an element for which the user can set the anchor name in the world editor. He can then locate the element in the parent GameWorld using this anchor name.

class MyElement extends BehaviorElementClass
  public func new()
    ECBehaviorAnchorElement.new(this)

<elementClass name='MyClass' class='GenericBehaviorElement'>
   <behavior type='ECBehaviorAnchorElement'/>
</elementClass>
