Hello
Is it possible to put ENTITY(s) to array, something like

ENTITY BULLET[8]

and then have access to them like any array:

BULLET[1]= ent_create("ball2.mdl",BulletP,DestroyBulletIfOutsite);

Or is there some vector where engine keeps the pointers. Because when pressing F11 is possible to see number of entities?
JHA

Why don't you just try it?

ENTITY* BULLET[8];

This works ok. But doing coding sometime, I have learned that with pointers and dynamic memory one has to be pretty carefull. Anyway so far so good. Thanks

I cant see any dynamic here.

The pointer-array (Superku's example) is a static array, not dynamic.
And entities are static in memory once created.

Just remember to fill your array with NULLs at startup time.
eg

OK, and thanks again, I will add this NULL filling of vector into initilization

What is happening, if the Arrayparts aren´t filled with NULL at the beginning?

nothing

Nothing "happens", but if you dont put null in you get random numbers in them.
That then makes it more difficult to know which ones are used or not.

If you NULL them all, you can then use this to see what elements are in use.

Just remember to set them to NULL when youve finished using them...

The array get filled with random Numbers?...
wow...
1. why (would Auto-Null not be more elegant?)
and
2. Didn´t know that. This explains a lot of problems I encountered. Will keep it in Mind for Future things.

There´s always quiet a bit to learn, when reading here.

It would cost more CPU cycles and would be slower. The reason is simple: You just get a random chunk of memory and everything what was before you in this chunk of memory is still there.

But I know of one exception that at least exist on iOS and Mac OS X: When you get a new memory page, it is nulled by the OS for security reasons. However, as long as this page is mapped into your application (or vice versa), this won't happen again.
