Hey, you can easily access the children of any entity if you have the entity reference.
This is how you can achieve it in this case. var text = Entity.children[0].children[0];
You can study more about the children’s property of the entity here Entity | PlayCanvas API Reference

Also, as it’s a generic question so you don’t need to mention the moderators specifically.

Hey @Saad_Maxamtech,

Are you sure the entity you’re accessing actually exists? I’d try to log the following:

console.log(AiCars);
console.log(AiCars.children[0]);
console.log(AiCars.children[0].children[0]);

This should help give you some clarity on what might be going wrong. Most likely, AiCars simply isn’t the entity you expect, and consequently it doesn’t have a grandchild at index 0.
