@Niko
In webgl, from my extension I can pass reference to the extension itself as follows
In extension I do


    ccbSetCopperCubeVariable("v1",this);

Then in action (javascript action) I can get the reference by


    let r = ccbGetCopperCubeVariable("v1");

Now in my action, I can use "r" to access various extension properties and methods

Same doesn't work in windows.
Is there a way to do this in windows?

var ref;

behavior_huevyor = function() {
    ref = this;
}

@okeoke
Are you saying set a global variable and access that from Action javascript?
Anyways, I tried that but it doesn't work for windows or webgl.

Full behavior code:

// The following embedded xml is for the editor and describes how the behavior can be edited:
// Supported types are: int, float, string, bool, color, vect3d, scenenode, texture, action
/*
    <behavior jsname="behavior_Blyat" description="Blyat">
        <property name="temp" type="int" default="2000" />
    </behavior>
*/

var ref;

var behavior_Blyat = function () {
    this.khuy = 'khuy, pizda, djigurda'
    ref = this;
};

behavior_Blyat.prototype.onAnimate = function() {

}

Script code which runs every 500 ms:

print(ref.khuy);

You are right, it works,
Thanks for the demo, that helped.

I must have mistyped something previously when I was trying it myself

Now , this does not work for webgl though.
For webgl it seems you would have attach the global variable to "window".

So the proper solution would be


// The following embedded xml is for the editor and describes how the behavior can be edited:
// Supported types are: int, float, string, bool, color, vect3d, scenenode, texture, action
/*
    <behavior jsname="behavior_Blyat" description="Blyat">
        <property name="temp" type="int" default="2000" />
    </behavior>
*/

var ref;

var behavior_Blyat = function () {
    this.khuy = 'khuy, pizda, djigurda';
    if (ccbGetPlatform() == "webgl") {
        window.ref = this;
    }else{
       ref = this;
   }
};

behavior_Blyat.prototype.onAnimate = function() {

}

make a list of windows versus webgl games caseoh has played and prepare yourself for a reason why you shouldn't bother targeting webgl... don't overwork yourself, m8...

let me say one last thing and I will leave you guys alone, niven on itch gets more playtime than all of us (jic, robbo, etc) here and he can't even make a proper interaction system. acclimate yourself to the times, friend.
