I hope this isn't a newbie question.

I have a pointer to an entity, you, it dynamically changes between being a registered physics object and not. How can I determine in say an event function that the entity is active or not? What function can I use which can return a true or false of it's state? I want to do this because I don't wish to run physics instructions on the entity while it isn't activated otherwise gstudio just gives errors.

Thank you!

hey, i having the same problem as you.
Did you managed to solve it already ?

I'm not sure about this, but it seems that some getters can return 0 if they fail. I would suspect that they fail if the entity is not a registered physics entity.

if(phent_getangvelocity(my, temp) == 0)

Hello there!
It's easy to make it, if just using a flag or a skill.
(replace all phent_setmass(...); by
phent_settype(...);my.FLAG7 = on;// or off when setting off.
Alternative is adding yours:
Code:

---

ph_settype(ENTITY* ent,var type,var hulltype)
{
if (type!=0) {ent.flag7=on;} else {ent.flag7=off;}
phent_settype(ent,mass,hulltype);
}

---

That's all.
(You can repeat same by making same for all phent_*)

I was really hoping to avoid doing that but I think it's the best and only way. And the way you coded that function, very intuitive! Thank you
