Hi,

Im in need of retrieving an entity which is stored as an EHANDLE, however it doesn't seem possible to retrieve it with get_pdata_ent() (returns -1) as it doesn't handle the conversion back to CBase, get_pdata_int() returns what seems like a pointer however.

So I need a method for converting an EHANDLE back to a CBaseEntity pointer and then getting the entity index. This is otherwise handled by these functions in CBase:

CBase

PHP Code:

edict_t * EHANDLE::Get( void ) 
{ 
    if (m_pent)
    {
        if (m_pent->serialnumber == m_serialnumber) 
            return m_pent; 
        else
            return NULL;
    }
    return NULL; 
};

edict_t * EHANDLE::Set( edict_t *pent ) 
{ 
    m_pent = pent;  
    if (pent) 
        m_serialnumber = m_pent->serialnumber; 
    return pent; 
};


EHANDLE :: operator CBaseEntity *() 
{ 
    return (CBaseEntity *)GET_PRIVATE( Get( ) ); 
};


CBaseEntity * EHANDLE :: operator = (CBaseEntity *pEntity)
{
    if (pEntity)
    {
        m_pent = ENT( pEntity->pev );
        if (m_pent)
            m_serialnumber = m_pent->serialnumber;
    }
    else
    {
        m_pent = NULL;
        m_serialnumber = 0;
    }
    return pEntity;
}

EHANDLE :: operator int ()
{
    return Get() != NULL;
}

CBaseEntity * EHANDLE :: operator -> ()
{
    return (CBaseEntity *)GET_PRIVATE( Get( ) ); 
}

Ah I see had missed that. It still doesn't work for me however, the EHANDLE is supposed to store a CBasePlayer, I get returned -1 still.

It works, it has been tested. You probably did not read documentation enough, like offset is byte-based.

Ah yes, thanks works, got a bit confused!
