Hey guys, I havn't been on 3dgs for about a year and almost forgot the stuff i had learnt. Can someone help me remember how to use handles for a bunch of entitys.

TIA

Hi !!!

A handle is nothing more than a "number". Just think of the starting numbers in a sport event.
So, you can easily point the entities of intrest.

For example:
you.parent_handle=handle(my); // saves the handle "number" of the my-entity in the parent_handle-skill of the you entity.

When the you entity want something from this my-entity,
just call in the you-entity-action:
you=ptr_for_handle(my.parent_handle); // the you entity is now the my entity above.

I hope this will help you.

Bye G.S.

Now talk about being nice. =D

How do i reference an entity? (I want to assign one action to 10 different entitys using handles? and reference them like so?)

Entity1.x += 1;

You don't need to do that.
When you put an entity in WED, you can assign an action to it, and it will behave independently of any other entity that has the same action assgined.
To do that command you mentioned (Entity1.x += 1;) you will need to use something like this (corroborate with tutorials):
First, in WED, set each entity's skill1 to 1,2,3... never repeating.
Code:

---

 //before any function, at the script start:
define Id, skill1;
//then, inside the entity's action:
...
if(my.Id=1){Entity1=me}
if(my.Id=2){Entity2=me} 

---

Hope this helped.
