What I'm trying to do is have the main character fight a bunch of enemies that have the same action. Here's the problem though, all the players with the same action have the same pointer, so they do all the same stuff. How can I dynamically create a new pointer for a new enemy that appears? Thanks!

This bug was reported to be fixed in the latest nVidia drivers. Workaround: for engine version 6.31.4 or earlier, set the entities' u or v parameters to a small value, like 0.1. For version later than 6.31.4, set the patch variable at 1.
