Ah, never knew about it. I mean, I knew that * was a possibility on the goldsrc engine. Good idea and thanks for sharing.

Untested. On paper should work ...

PHP Code:


public void Function()
{
    int ent = -1;
    while ((ent = FindEntityInSphere(ent, {20.0, 20.0, 20.0}, 100.0)) != -1)
    {
        // do something
    }
}

int FindEntityInSphere(int ent, float[] origin, float distance)
{
    while ((ent = FindEntityByClassname(ent, "*")) != -1)
    {
        float buffer[3];
        GetEntPropVector(ent, Prop_Send, "m_vecOrigin", buffer);
        
        if (GetVectorDistance(origin, buffer) < distance)
        {
            return ent;
        }
    }
    
    return -1;
}

Yeah, I've been thinking of dking it the same way. Thanks, I guess this will help others looking for the same thing.
