'Get entity data
Local myobj:entity = HandleToObject ( bbEntityID( picked ) )

picked is an entity... when I try this code it wont even compile and throws up an error "Unable to convert from 'Object' to entity'"

Any idea what I am doing wrong? I just want to look up the type I associated with the entity using:

bbSetEntityID( e.entity , HandleFromObject( e ) )
