guys, need your help,. what seems to be the problem in this code? the error message is "invalid arguments in entity" referring to function func_backselectenemy(), the entity mangyanenemy. i can't remove it! The simplified code are shown below:

function func_startbagobo_mangyan()
{
pan_backselectenemy=pan_create("
pos_x = 0;
pos_y = 0;
button ( 50, 550, \"cancel.pcx\", \"cancel.pcx\", \"cancel_over.pcx\", func_backselectenemy, NULL, NULL);
flags = OVERLAY | VISIBLE;
",11);

bagobo_walk.z=60;

ent_animate(bagobo_walk, "steady", anim_percentage, ANM_CYCLE);

townlevel=ent_create("town.hmp", vector(0,0,-10),NULL);

camera.z = 1;
camera.tilt = -10;
vec_set(camera.x, vector(-500, 0, 100));
mangyanenemy = ent_create("mangyan.mdl", vector(0,-100,-10),NULL);
mangyanenemy.pan=-90;

mangyanenemy.z=60;

mangyanenemy.x=-175;
mangyanenemy.y=-150;

ent_animate(mangyanenemy, "steady", anim_percentage, ANM_CYCLE);




}




function func_backselectenemy()
{ ent_remove(mangyanenemy);
pan_remove(pan_backselectenemy);
ent_remove(townlevel);

}


can you tell me what is the problem?. thank you so much,. why sometimes the entity won't remove.

While, I MAY be wrong. These are a few things that might be going wrong.

First, you didn't define the entity. So you should put ENTITY* mangyaenemy at the top if you didn't already.

Also, if you are going to be using mangyaenemy for that function, you should just make it from:

mangyanenemy = ent_create("mangyan.mdl", vector(0,-100,-10),NULL);

to

ent_create("mangyan.mdl", vector(0,-100,-10),func_backselectenemy);

and then turn the mangyaenemy to my.

Also, pan_backselectenemy=pan_create(" doesnt see, to be complete...

Also, remember. Sometimes the engine will point at random lines of code even if there is something else wrong with a different time, like if you forgot to put ; at the end of a line.

thanks for the time MrTwiggy ahmmm,. yup, i declared the mangyanenemy as ENTITY* at the top.

i cant make the mangyanenemy = ent_create("mangyan.mdl", vector(0,-100,-10),NULL);

to

ent_create("mangyan.mdl", vector(0,-100,-10),func_backselectenemy);

because the entity will be loaded in the environment and the there is a button cancel where i'll put the func_backselectenemy so that it will be back again in the main menu.

To make your code a bit more bulletproof, change your entity declares to this
ENTITY* mangyanenemy = NULL; or ENTITY* mangyanenemy = 0;
PANEL* pan_backselectenemy = NULL; or PANEL* pan_backselectenemy = 0;
Now you can test if the entity is in use or not.

To see this test in action, and to possibly fix your problem, change the following too.

let us know how it goes.
