its a simple question, so i write it here
so, why Ptr_for_handle has "Speed: Medium" and Handle has "Speed: Fast" ?

Handle just run through list of entities and get unique id instead of pointer, so why Ptr_for_handle(that works the same as Handle) is not so fast?

1.It is not the same,you use function "handle()" to store entity pointer,and you use function "ptr_for_handle()" to restore entity..
2."handle()" is smaller function so it works faster..

thanks, i just uncorrect formulate my sentence:)
okay, so i'd try to explain from another point of view...

so i need to combine almost all entities on level with their skill1
as i dont know, what entity would load first, i see 2 ways of solving this:
1)
- i set SkillFounder to 1
- run through all entities with the help of Ent_next()
- select only entities, that i need for now(skill1 == SkillFounder)
- combine them
- set SkillFounder to 2 and run again through all entities
- repeat until SkillFounder rich, say, 100

so i'd need to cycle through all entities 100 times


2)
- i make large matrix, where i store handles
- run only once through all entities, saving all pointers
- after the cycling, i restore all pointers that i need(with skill1==1)
- and combine them


so, what way is better? in first i need to make a lot of fast cycles, but in second i'd need to work with medium-speed Ptr_for_handle()

Use 1. You can use "for" not "while" to make all in one frame..

okay, thank you for help

Np man,any time..
