entity id

i add 2 cube in WED and also add action two both.

in SED i can retrieve cube position with my.x, my.y, and my.z
but how can i retrieve cube id to distinguish from the others?
guessing like my.id or my.idname but its not work.

thanks

The entity type doesn't have an 'id' member by default. What it does have is a set of skills that you can set your own custom id...

me.skill1 = 50;

... So when checking ids you can easily check the entity skill.

The skill method would require you to manually set the ids. You can use the handle of the entity also. A handle is a number unique to the object which is automatically set by the engine.

Use the 'handle' function (check in manual) or directly access it with 'my.link.index'.

cube 1 skill1 = 1; // set this in WED
cube 2 skill1 = 2; // the same...

ENTITY* cube_1; // Entity Pointer
ENTITY* cube_2;

action cube_action()
{
if (my.skill1 == 1) cube_1 = me;
if (my.skill1 == 2) cube_2 = me;
...
}

Now you can access to that two entities with this two Pointers:

cube_1.x = 20;
cube_2.x = -100;
set (cube_1,PASSABLE);

and so on...

or you use an array of entities...

ENTITY* ent[n]; //n = size


now you can use an id as array-position..

If you want to be lazy, and are NEVER taking this project to multiplayer,
you could hi-jack the multiplayer property "my.client_id"...

Or if you are NOT using it with view-entities, you can use "my.layer"...

thanks everyone
