Hi all,

i have a question about saving and checking the you pointer.

Code:
function carried_ent()
{
 //ENTITY* carrier = you;
 while(you)
 {	
	vec_for_vertex(my.skill30,you,141);
  	vec_set(my.x,my.skill30);

        //some additional code

	wait(1);
 }
 ent_remove(me);
}


The code above is working fine. This entity has to exist as long as its creator exists. "You" is pointing to the creating entity, but what i would like to know:
- if i add code in the loop that alters the you pointer like c_scan or c_trace, will "while(you)" check if the creator or the target of scan/trace still exists?

if i change the code above like this its no longer working
Code:
function carried_ent()
{
 ENTITY* carrier = you;
 while(carrier)
 {	
	vec_for_vertex(my.skill30,carrier,141);
  	vec_set(my.x,my.skill30);

        //some additional code

	wait(1);
 }
 ent_remove(me);
}

I guess cause i only set it once, "carrier" doesn`t know that the creator was removed.
If i replace "while(carrier)" with "while(carrier==you)" its working again, but i dont know whether i will get the same problem as with the first codeexample.
Any suggestions? I`m thankfull for your help.

Regards
