    - Assign it a name when creating it in the level editor, then just reference it by name in script.

    - For an object type, there should be a bitflag for it defined somewhere in engine, check if there's a $TypeMasks::MarkerObjectType variable in script. Try echo'ing that. Then, you could also check an object's typemask for that too.

    And any object that has a name will tell you what it is using %theObject.getName(), and its simID using %theObject.getId().
