Hi,

In the AMXX source it seems we can get the edict_t* with a macro called GET_PLAYER_POINTER_I... However it's used with a global variable declared into AMXX...

I'm not sure whether or not I can do the same on a module...?
Can someone explain me, in a mdoule, how I can manage to get the edict from player index?

Also it seems the class CPlayer* is unique to AMXX? I'm I right?
EDIT: Yes, seems it's amxx specific stuff...

Thanks

actually amxx provide the entry to its functions sort of.

MF_GetPlayerEdict(int id)

more details please check amxxmodule.h

Thanks a lot jim. STill, what about metamod's function here

PEntityOfEntIndex

from engine/eiface.h:
edict_t *PEntityOfEntIndex(int iEntIndex);
INDEXENT()

comments:
Returns the edict for the player in the given server slot (ie 1 to maxplayers).

Which one would you think is... actually faster? Any preference?

Thanks!

I think that's not something you should care about. The difference can be ignored totally. If you really care about it, generate native code for this instead of these two above: get the first edict pointer, then do the math to get the edict you want.

index to edict and edict to index :

inline int	  ENTINDEX(edict_t *pEdict)			{ return (*g_engfuncs.pfnIndexOfEdict)(pEdict); }
inline edict_t* INDEXENT( int iEdictNum )		{ return (*g_engfuncs.pfnPEntityOfEntIndex)(iEdictNum); }

You could cache world index first time Spawn is called and then you could make your own function, look hamsandwich code fro more details.
