I'm trying to get a plugin to work after the update, but one of my functions requires an edict_t that I used to get from CBaseEntity::edict()

I'm getting a pointer to a CBaseEntity using

CBaseEntity *pEntity = META_IFACEPTR(CBaseEntity);

whilst hooking CCSPlayer::Weapon_CanUse, which still seems to work fine, it doesn't crash when calling pEntity->edict, but when I try to use it as an edict_t it crashes.

Anyone got any ideas how I can get around this? I'm guessing valve have changed something again. CBaseENtity::edict is not virtual so cant call it via offset, and I also notice it says 'should be removed!' in baseenity.h

Thanks,

Tommy

I used ->edict() until the update also, which was bad as it's an inline function.

I now user IServerGameEnts::BaseEntityToEdict. Load the interface (INTERFACEVERSION_SERVERGAMEENTS) from the serverFactory in mms.

Thanks Duke, I was hoping there was an easy way of doing it.

How do you guys figure out this stuff?

[L. Duke]

Lots of browsing the interfaces, grepping the source files, and a big portion of asking other pluign authors.

Well I'm really glad you share your knowledge, my plugin is now saved. Thanks
