Hi Ayrin,
Why do you need the name? If you are using raycast to click an entity then the result is the entity so you don’t really need the name.

    var from = this.entity.camera.screenToWorld(e.x, e.y, this.entity.camera.nearClip);
    var to = this.entity.camera.screenToWorld(e.x, e.y, this.entity.camera.farClip);

    this.app.systems.rigidbody.raycastFirst(from, to, function (result) {
        var pickedEntity = result.entity;

        pickedEntity.script.pulse.pulse();
    });
