[ H3LP ] Entity members

Hello, is there any way to set values to an entity (life time, for example) by means of a variable?

Instead of:

Code:

new Float:g_flLifeTime[2056];
g_flLifeTime[entity] = 100.0;

Something like this:

Code:

new Float:g_flLifeTime;
SetEntFloatVal(entity, g_flLifeTime, 100.0);

Re: [ H3LP ] Entity members

Code:

#define g_flLifeTime EV_FL_fuser1

entity_set_float(entity, g_flLifeTime, 100.0);

- or -

Code:

#define g_flLifeTime EV_FL_fuser1
#define SetEntFloatVal(%0, %1, %2), entity_set_float(%0, %1, %2)

SetEntFloatVal(entity, g_flLifeTime, 100.0);

Re: [ H3LP ] Entity members

Basically this is a "hack" method, I was thinking of something like bit-fields, but even so, it was worth the try.

Basically this is what you have to use and there is no better solution. Using array of 2056 cells is painful. (Thats 8 kB of memory :D)

Bit-fields can only be used to store several boolean values (8) in a single byte. So you can't just store float numbers such as 100.0 in one bit. Also a variable can store up to 32 values (4 bytes * 8 bits = 32 boolean values) and that's the reason why often can be seen, bit-flags to be used for players instead of array of 32 cells.

Re: [ H3LP ] Entity members

Anything you want to store on entities, you have to do it using the following pev fields
Storing the data in arrays like you were trying is not safe, because entities can get very high indexes
Another good alternative is to use klippy's module which allows you to store data on entities

Also, don't use these fields on players

Code:

pev_iuser - for integers

pev_euser - for integers

pev_fuser - for floats

pev_vuser - for vectors 

pev_noise - for strings

Re: [ H3LP ] Entity members

Then it would probably be more feasible to store an array in one of the members if I want to pass several values, however this may cause a conflict in the entity.

Re: [ H3LP ] Entity members

You can store for one entity up to 8 integers (or 24, but it's a bit tricky) and up to 16 floats.

You also can use pev_noise with base64 encoded data.

Re: [ H3LP ] Entity members

You can use also dynamic array.
