EncodedObjectAsID
=================

**Inherits:** :ref:`RefCounted<class_RefCounted>` **<** :ref:`Object<class_Object>`

Holds a reference to an :ref:`Object<class_Object>`'s instance ID.

.. rst-class:: classref-introduction-group

Description
-----------

Utility class which holds a reference to the internal identifier of an :ref:`Object<class_Object>` instance, as given by :ref:`Object.get_instance_id<class_Object_method_get_instance_id>`. This ID can then be used to retrieve the object instance with :ref:`@GlobalScope.instance_from_id<class_@GlobalScope_method_instance_from_id>`.

This class is used internally by the editor inspector and script debugger, but can also be used in plugins to pass and display objects as their IDs.
