# Getting the entity
You can find this sample in the tutorial project: **Menu** -> **Getting an entity** 

## Explanation
This C# Beginner tutorial covers how to get the entity object.

When a script is attached to an entity in the scene, we can access all properties of that Entity by using the `Entity` property. We can for instance get the entity's name or we can check if the entity has a parent in the scene.
