I've created this data structure for use with entities that will have a special "magnetism" property:

Code:

typedef struct MAGNET
{
	ENTITY* entity;
	ENTITY* opt1,opt2;
	bool pole;
}MAGNET;


Now I need to be able to create many of these (they will be visible physics entities, so it needs to work like ent_create). How would I achieve this?

I was thinking that it would be a function that would return a MAGNET*, kinda like this:

Code:

MAGNET* mag_create(STRING* filename,VECTOR* pos)
{
          ...(no idea how an of this would work)...
          return [whatever wierd MAGNET pointer this thing would spit out];
}


So, does ne1 have any ideas?

Code:
void main()
{
    cout << "I am MrCode,";
    cout << "hear me roar!";
    system("PAUSE");
}
