 No, x.persists is just a flag that determines whether it saves the prefab when saving the world. For example, placers don't persist, they should never appear when reloading a world.

 

If x:Remove() has been called, x should be nil. But you can (and should) instead hook into the OnRemoveEntity function, which will be way more efficient (and timely) than checking periodically if something has been removed.

This is not true.

 

X will be nil if and only if I execute following code:

x = nil
