[SOLVED] Why does PlayCanvas say addComponent is not a function?

Help & Support
1

When I run the following code, it says that addComponent() doesn’t exist.

var newEntity = pc.Entity();
newEntity.addComponent("model", {
type: 'box',
});
this.app.root.addChild(newEntity);

2

Can you provide an example project please? The code in isolation looks correct

3

Physics lab | Editor (playcanvas.com)
WASD to move, space to go up, and you should be able to click to create a new entity, but it doesn’t work

4

Are you in a branch? Non team users can only see main branch

5

I guess this should be var newEntity = new pc.Entity();.
