"Special trick:"
I (TinMan) removed this from the page:
A string can be used with $ to store entity names.
string funcmover; $funcmover=sys.getEntity("func_mover_1");
[edit]
not quite
That isn't what's happening. The $funcmover is being parsed as an immediate pointer (because of the $) not as the string.
So, at the point of $funcmover=sys.getEntity("func_mover_1");
We have the empty pointer $funcmover being set by sys.getEntity.
