IInstanceBase interface

The IInstanceBase interface is used as the base class for instances in the SDK. For "world" type plugins, instances instead derive from IWorldInstanceBase, which itself derives from IInstanceBase.

IInstanceBase cannot be directly constructed; it should only be used as a base class.

Properties

this._sdkType

Reference to the associated SDK type class.

this._inst

Reference to the IObjectInstance interface, or IWorldInstance interface for "world" type plugins, representing this instance in the editor. This allows access to Construct's built-in features for instances.
