```

### Parameters

### Returns

| Type                                                                | Description |

| [EntityId](/engine/6000.5/script-reference/unityengine/entityid.md) |             |

### Remarks

This method will loop through all IHierarchyEntityIdConverter handlers and return the first valid entity id. It is more efficient to call GetEntityIds when multiple nodes need to be converted.
