Hello,

Is there any way to pass a parameter to an action? I have several items (models) that all have practically the exact same action to perform except that different data is retrieved depending on where the model is located. (next to room1 - do this, next to room 2 - do that, etc. I know I can just put all of that code in the action itself but then I would have to somehow detect which room it is next to, which I also don't know how to do.

Any ideas / suggestions / tutorials?

Much appreciated.

You can do this with entity skills. If you assign your actions in WED, you can set skill values in the properties dialog of the entity. If you create your entity in scripts, do something like this:
Code:

---

you = ent_create("model.mdl", myPositionVector, myAction);
you.skill1 = 5;
you.skill2 = 10;

---

Then in your action, you can access the skills like this (no matter how they where set):
Code:

---

action myAction()
{
   if(my.skill1 == 5)
   {
      // execute code for room 5:
      ...
   }
}

---

Ahh yes. Simple enough too Thank you!
