# Entity Instance Data

## What is it

* Entity Instance Data can be defined for any [Entity type node](https://wiki.redmodding.org/cyberpunk-2077-modding/modding-guides/world-editing/supported-nodes#entity)
* It is used to override properties of the entity and its components, on a instance basis
  * This means you can make changes to once specific instance of an entity, without changing all the other ones which use the same `.ent`

## What can it do

* It can change any component's properties, just like you would in WolvenKit
* Often this is used for:
  * Changing component size or offset
  * Changing the mesh a component uses
  * Changing behavior of e.g. Doors and other devices
  * Setting up devices such as elevators and FT points

The sky is the limit, as you can change each components properties

It can be also very helpful for prototyping custom entities, as you get a realtime preview of the changes, for most properties

## Basic Example

* You can see it being used in the guides for [elevators](https://wiki.redmodding.org/cyberpunk-2077-modding/modding-guides/world-editing/devices/custom-elevators), [FT points](https://wiki.redmodding.org/cyberpunk-2077-modding/modding-guides/world-editing/devices/custom-fast-travel-points) and [security areas](https://wiki.redmodding.org/cyberpunk-2077-modding/modding-guides/world-editing/devices/creating-security-areas)
* You can right-click any property or component to reset it back to default

## Smartframe Example

* This example will show you how to change the size and aspect ration of a smartframe
* First, spawn any of the smartframes as `Entity`, e.g. `base\gameplay\devices\frames\base\smart_frame_a.ent`
* You will need to change the dimensions in three places:
  * Frame mesh component
  * Screen mesh component
  * UI component
* Lets start with the mesh components:
  * The smartframe has two mesh components, find them by searching for `mesh` under the `Entity Instance Data` header
  * Expand them, and scroll down to locate the `visualScale`, then change the size there
* To Adjust the aspect ratio of the UI, find the component named `ui`
  * Adjust the values under the `dimensions` header, to have the same ratio as the mesh scales
