you can try something like that: (didn't test it)

if (getClassInstances SphereGizmo).count == 0 then
SphereGizmo radius:20 name:"BombGizmo"

thank you! that works fine.
By the way, I want to test if there is a SphereGizmo with a specific name in the scene...

you could use this test instead then:

if not isValidNode $'gizmo_name_here' then
...


or use the getNodeByName method and compare it to undefined
