Hello,
I have this methodmap which represents a box.

PHP Code:

methodmap Box < StringMap
{
    public Box(char[] model) {
        int box = CreateEntityByName("prop_dynamic_override"); 
        
        char mdl[128];
        Format(mdl, sizeof mdl, "models/xmas/%s.mdl", model);
        SetEntityModel(box, mdl);
        
        DispatchSpawn(box);
        DispatchKeyValue(box, "classname", BOX_CLASSNAME);

        StringMap map = new StringMap();
        map.SetValue("base", box);
        map.SetValue("health", BOX_HEALTH);
        
        SDKHook(box, SDKHook_OnTakeDamage, Box_OnTakeDamage);
        
        return view_as<box>(map);        
    }
    
    property int Health
    {
        public get()
        {
            int health;
            this.GetValue("health", health);

            return health;
        }
        
        public set(int health)
        {
            if(health < 1)
            {
                this.Break();
            }
            
            this.SetValue("health", health);
        }
    }
    
    public void Break()
    {
        int box = this.GetValue("base");
        
        SetVariantString("OnUser1 !self:break::0.1:1");
        AcceptEntityInput(box, "AddOutput");
        AcceptEntityInput(box, "FireUser1");
}
public Action Box_OnTakeDamage(int victim, int &attacker, int &inflictor, float &damage, int &damagetype)
{
    if(!IsValidEntity(victim)) {
        return Plugin_Handled;
    }

 // Here I need the box object reference.
} 


My problem is:
How I could obtain the box methodmap object reference in the Box_OnTakeDamage?

What do you mean?
The box is based on StringMap not on the created entity..

I don't know what you want then

[dbogdan]

In the Box constructor I created an entity and then I hook OnTakeDamage on it.
So on OnTakeDamage hook I want to get the object that contains the entity.

This is an insane misuse of MethodMaps, but you'll need to keep an array mapping the entity index to the StringMap (Box) Handle, along with using OnEntityDestroyed to clean up. At least as you're creating networked entities you can get away with a small fixed array for it.

Do you have any suggest how I could do it better?
I tried to make it look as a OOP, I thought its ok like this.
