This isn't more about ptr_for_handle(...) == NULL is it?

JCL told you that code wouldnt work!!

I posted a possible solution in the previous thread.

In answer to your question, yes you can. But you must assign the parameter to a script defined pointer of known type before you can use it directly for assignments.

eg.

code:

---

entity* myEnt;
....
// call the function
SomeFunction(me);
....
function SomeFunction(entPtr)
{
    // can't use entPtr directly, so assign it to an already defined pointer
    myEnt = entPtr;

    // now use myEnt to assign values to entPtr
    myEnt.passable = on;
}
....
