How do I get an entity's position?

Darkimmortal · **Author**

I need a way of getting the position of entities from FindEntityByClassname - can it be done?

I've already searched the Wiki, API and Forum to no avail.

The plugin is designed for TF2, if that makes a difference.

Code:

new Float:position[3];
GetEntPropVector(entity, Prop_Send, "m_vecOrigin", position);

This definitely should be considered as a utility function like GetEntityVectorOrigin or something.

Because I was a newb and tried to use GetClientAbsOrigin or GetClientEyeOrigin to get the origin of a witch (L4D) and it kept giving me errors saying it wasn't a valid client index!

I mean sure it wasn't a valid client index, I just couldn't figure out a way till CrimsonGT suggested using the m_vecOrigin netprop.

At least TeleportEntity works on Entities
