Same goes for the y and z component

I got the following code which i cant figure out how to work right:
VECTOR newspw;
vec_for_vertex(newspw,chasis,60);
cylinder = ent_create("cube\\cylinder\\cylinder.mdl",spawnp,NULL);
cylinder.x = newspw.x;

I want to change the x position of the cylinder. using the coordinate from newspw...
My basic question is: how to change the position of an entity using a vector as source.?

Well, the code is correct. I don't see why it shouldn't work.

We'd need to see more of the code but a stab in the dark, you've created a boolean pointer somewhere and are storing the entity in this (won't show any problems in the compiler) but the BOOLEAN data type doesn't have a .x property, make sure that cylinder is an ENTITY pointer. basically what i'm trying to say:
///////////////////////////////
#include <acknex.h>
#include <default.c>
///////////////////////////////
BOOL bool_temp;
void main(){
BOOL bool_temp;
level_load(NULL);
bool_temp = ent_create(CUBE_MDL, vector(1, 1, 1), NULL);
bool_temp.x = 1;
//vec_set(bool_temp, vector(1, 1, 1));
}
change to:
///////////////////////////////
#include <acknex.h>
#include <default.c>
///////////////////////////////
ENTITY* ent_temp;
void main(){
level_load(NULL);
ent_temp = ent_create(CUBE_MDL, vector(1, 1, 1), NULL);
ent_temp.x = 1;
}
or .x inside the entities on function would work
///////////////////////////////
#include <acknex.h>
#include <default.c>
///////////////////////////////
action move_me(){
while(me){
my.x += time_step;
wait(1);
}
}
void main(){
level_load(NULL);
ent_create(CUBE_MDL, vector(1, 1, 1), move_me);
}
Hope this helps (and makes sense) ENTITY*
