<code class="sig">Query.first(prop) -&gt; int</code>
<div class="desc"><p>Returns the first (lowest entity id) live entity that carries <code>prop</code>, or <code>-1</code> if none do. Handy for a singleton-ish lookup — the player, the current boss, the one active portal — and to test existence (<code>Query.first(prop) &gt;= 0</code>). Read its fields with <a href="world-get"><code>World.get</code></a>.</p></div>
