This component connects its entity to another.
It is used by Script or GUI (Model) components in order to learn which other entity is related and should possibly be acted upon. For example, Target components are often used to let generic "open door" GUIs know which door they should actually open.
Note that the variables of this class (also referred to as "Public Attributes" or "Member Data") must be used with the get() and set() methods at this time – see get() and set() for details.
If you would like to create a new component of this type explicitly (those defined in the CaWE Map Editor are instantiated automatically), use WorldT::new():
