So is an action essentially a behavior that you assign to an entity? For instance, I would write an action for "missiles" and an action for "mortars" and an action for "med-kits", etc. and then assign these actions to the appropriate entities?



Yes, otherwise the engine never know how to operate the entity.

If that's the case, then when creating a missile entity spontaneously within the game (i.e. player fires a missile), would I use a pointer to assign an action to it or is that unnecessary?




You can assign a pointer and/or assign an action to it direcrtly by using
ent_create(...) or in WED, as I said, the entity pointer can be used in
other entity's action.

Thanks for your patience, by the way.



I hope my explanation is clear and you'll get it.
