I'm making an entity with multiple body parts. Basically the parent body creates it's child part.

something like this.
Code:
action body_action()
action child_action()

ENTITY* body = ent_create(body, pos, body_action);

//main body action
action body_action()
{
   //msc codes here
   code...

   //create child entity
   ent_create(part1, pos_parentoffset, child_action(me)); //point me as parent entity

   //rest of the child entity code
   code...
}

//child body action
action child_action(ENTITY* parent_ent)
{
   //msc codes here
   code...

   while(1)
   {
       //parent_ent pointing to main body
       vec_set(my.x, parent_ent.x);
       wait(1);
   }
}


now the code just throws undeclared identifier for parent_ent. Reason for each body processing it's child part it because I'm spawning multiple entities of the same type each creating it's own parts and each part updates base on it's own parent entity.

What am I doing wrong it this case?
