An entity is merely the graphic display of your whole data structure. So the entity should be part of the structure, and not vice versa.

yes, I think I have to solve it that way ... is there are fast way to do such a search ??? Looping over all structs would be in worst case looping over all until the right one is found ...

Hi Joozey ... but how could I do this if I don't use it versa???

If I build a point & click adventure and click on an entity on screen how do I get the related struct object?

I'll think I could use a pointer to the struct that holds all aquired information and store it into a skill of the entity ...

So I can access the struct when clicking on the entity, couldn't I?

Yes, you could. I don't know if there are any better methods, but this workaround sounds fine enough.

I'll give that a try ...

Now I have to think about how to store all additional information in data files to access them easily.

what is this "additional information"? I think you shouldn't be in need of any data files at all.

Those information are for example all textual information about the entity like a description that is shown when the player examines the object.

Then I need things like who can take the object (there will be three characters in the game) and who can use it and so on. Informaion about if the object can be combined with other objects and so on.

I'd like to store as less information in the entitiy skills as possible.

What do you think would be the best way to store those data to fill the structs with?

Has anyone an idea how to do that best or in a good way?

Really no one any good idea?
