Differences between currentNote / originEntity / startNote (Backend API)

[Zocker1999NET]

From the documentation, I cannot get the exact differences between currentNote / originEntity / startNote.

What I understand so far:

• in case of entity events, originEntity describes the entity which triggered the execution of a script (source)
• otherwise, currentNote & startNote seem to be the note where the script is saved. However, I’m unsure because then one of them would be redundant …

If I recall correctly, in the case of a script that has dependencies, when the sub-note-script dependencies get "required" their startNote is the parent script note while the currentNote is the note of the sub-script. But don't quote me on that it's been a while since I messed with those.

Yes, this is correct. currentNote is interesting only in case of scripts spread across multiple notes and even then you usually want to use startNote. I've improved the JSDoc a bit.
