ent_for_name (STRING* name);


Returns a pointer to the entity with the given WED name. Names can be assigned to entities through [Properties] in WED. This way, entities placed in a level can be accessed in functions even if they have no action themselves. Only the first 20 characters of the entity name are evaluated.

entity* myPointer;

myPointer = ent_for_name('myEntityName');

string ent_name;
string temp_str;

entity* myPointer;

...
str_for_num(temp_str,1);
str_cpy(ent_name,"someName");
str_cat(ent_name,temp_str);

myPointer = ent_for_name(ent_name);
