I'm not quite sure if there is any method to do so. ent_for_name returns NULL if I pass the name of a position. Terrain tutorial using Shade-C amBx-Plugin - use amBx in GameStudio 3D Tower Defence

Modifies: you Pointer to the closest detected entity. result Distance to the closest detected object. target Position of the closest detected object. bounce Direction to the closest detected camera position. tex_color Color of the closest detected static light note target... also note again from the manual... SCAN_POS Scans for camera positions placed in the level. Now this will only return the closest camera position. But it is better than nothing. Our new web site:Westmarch Studios
