Another problem.
I've declared the array petRef with MAXPLAYERS+1 to store the indexes for each player.

PHP Code:

petRef[client] = EntIndexToEntRef(pet[client]); 


PHP Code:

AcceptEntityInput(petRef[client], "Kill"); 


I've associated AcceptEntityInput with petRef[client], however when KillPet starts AcceptEntityInput, it produces a similar error to the original.

PHP Code:

L 03/05/2014 - 16:56:34: [SM] Native "AcceptEntityInput" reported: Entity -1 (-2051944066) is not a CBaseEntity

You have to call EntRefToEntIndex on the reference first.

? No, AcceptEntityInput does accept entrefs as its first argument. I've used it to Kill entities without problems for quite a while now.

https://wiki.alliedmods.net/Entity_R...es_(SourceMod)

All natives (provided by SourceMod) should be able to accept references in place of indexes (wherever the parameter asks for an entity - Not clients), and these will use the serial to check that the entity index contained in the reference is the same as when the reference was created.

PHP Code:

new index = EntRefToEntIndex(petRef[client]);
    AcceptEntityInput(index, "Kill"); 


PHP Code:

L 03/05/2014 - 18:34:06: [SM] Native "AcceptEntityInput" reported: Entity -1 (-1) is not a CBaseEntity

Converting the reference to an index anyhow causes the same error.

If it returns -1 entity which you searched for might've already been destroyed so it results in -1
add this so it won't target destroyed entities into code:

PHP Code:

if(index > 0)
{

}

This fixed it. Many thanks.

Exactly. Although it isn't documented, it seems to return -1 when the entity no longer exists.

Anyway, the entity might be being killed when its parent is killed.

It returns INVALID_ENT_REFERENCE, and it is documented in the wiki.

Still, it should be documented in the function documentation.
