Variable self`Const`

self: typeof self = ...

Special symbol used with useRef to get a stable reference to the current entity's underlying LEA KaylaRectEntity.

Pass this symbol directly as the initial value to useRef(self) — it is replaced with the actual entity instance once mounted.

Do NOT use this symbol anywhere else — it's only meaningful as the argument to useRef.

Example

const entity = useRef(self);

useTick(dt => {
  entity.current.pos.x += 150 * dt;
  entity.current.setFlag("invulnerable", true);
});

// Later — access raw LEA entity methods
entity.current.getRect(); // or other LEA-specific stuff

See

useRef — the hook that accepts this symbol
useEntity — alternative that directly returns the ref (no symbol needed)
useRect — usually more convenient for day-to-day position/size work
