# LuaIncompleteFact Methods

A `LuaIncompleteFact` object represents a parsing of the input question. This object is the input to the entry function that you use for your Lua Fact Bank (by default, the `fetch` function).

The `LuaIncompleteFact` object has at most one target element missing, which the Lua script must attempt to find information for. The `LuaIncompleteFact` has an entity, which is the object of the question, unless the question target is the entity itself (in which case the entity value is empty).

A `LuaIncompleteFact` can also have zero or more `LuaIncompleteFactProperty` objects, each of which can have zero or more `LuaIncompleteFactQualifier` objects. See LuaIncompleteFactProperty Methods and LuaIncompleteFactQualifier Methods.

If you have a `LuaIncompleteFact` object called `incomplete`, you can call its methods by using the '`:`' operator. For example:

    incomplete:getEntity()

Method | Description
--- | ---
getEntity | Returns an entity that you want to find facts for.
getProperties | Returns the array of properties for this fact.
getTargetDepth | Returns the target of this incomplete fact.
getTargetPaths | Returns the target of this incomplete fact.
initToCodifiedFact | Generates a returnable fact to be completed by the script.
