  • Scripting - With new and updated APIs, you now have access to:
    • Memory, MemoryData, MemoryUseLevel - Memory APIs reports how much memory scripts are using and push alerts on high memory usage.  
    • AgentInfo.ObjectId property - returns the ObjectId of the AgentInfo. Use with Scene.FindSceneObject to get an agent's SceneObject.
    • Scene.FindScript property - Looks up the script object associated with the given scriptId. Use with chat events to get a reference to the script class that sent the chat.
