I need to find entity phys_hinge with "targetname" "hinge1"
Here is my code:

Version 1

public OnEntityCreated(entity, const String:classname[]) { 
	SDKHook(entity, SDKHook_Spawn, OnEntitySpawned); 
}
public OnEntitySpawned(entity) { 
	decl String:strName[50];
	GetEntPropString(entity, Prop_Data, "m_iName", strName, sizeof(strName));
	if(strcmp(strName, "hinge1") == 0)
	{
    		PrintToServer("ENT %s", strName);
	}
}

Version 2

public OnPluginStart() {
	HookEvent("round_start", Event_RoundStart);
}
public  Event_RoundStart(Handle:event, const String:name[], bool:dontBroadcast) {
        new entCount = GetEntityCount(); 
	for(new  i = 0; i != entCount; i++ )  {
		if(IsValidEntity(i)) {
			GetEntPropString(i, Prop_Data, "m_iName", strName, sizeof(strName)); 
			if(strcmp(strName, "hinge1") == 0)
			{
		    		PrintToServer("ENT!!! %s", strName);
			}
		}
	}
}

But it does not work. This only works if entityclass is not phys_hinge (prop dynamic for example)

I found a strange sourcemod bug:

	new ent = CreateEntityByName("phys_hinge");
	PrintToServer("ent %i", ent);
	ent = CreateEntityByName("prop_physics");
	PrintToServer("ent %i", ent);

console dump:
ent -2025748447
ent 74

How can this be?

Try this:

PHP Code:

#include <sourcemod>
#include <sdktools>

public OnPluginStart()
{
    HookEvent("round_start", Event_RoundStart);
}

public Event_RoundStart(Handle:hEvent, const String:sName[], bool:bBroadcast)
{
    decl iEnt;
    while (iEnt = FindEntityByClassname(-1, "phys_hinge"))
    {
        if (!IsValidEntity(iEnt)) continue;

        decl String:sName[32];
        GetEntPropString(iEnt, Prop_Data, "m_iName", sName, sizeof(sName)); 
        
        if (StrEqual(sName, "hinge1", false))
        {
            PrintToServer("ENT!!! %s", sName);

            break;
        }
    }
}

Marcus_Brown001, does not work . Furthermore, it does not find any of the existing phys_hinge.
But I can control phys_hinge through func_button, ie it exists....

Is it SourceMod bug?

That's not a bug, none-edicts are handled by entity reference, not by their entity index.
See: https://wiki.alliedmods.net/Entity_R...es_(SourceMod)
There is also an example code how to find those entities.
Could also be that that specific entity phys_hinge is for the client only and can't be found on the server...
