Hey, I'd like to flag some of my entites.
Should I use a unique classname for each one or is there any other way?

Thanks

You should probably just use the classname, since an entities pev field could somehow match another entites pev, example.

Entity 1 uses pev_iuser1 for like ammo or something, lets say their ammo is 1.
Your entity uses pev_iuser1 to "flag" it, so you set it to 1.

O Noes!

Please don't respond, because your post shows you have no clue whats going on nor understood my example.

Since you are considering changing the classname and say my (your) entities, I'm assuming this is custom, not a default entity. So, go ahead and use iuser1, iuser2, etcetera. In fact, you could probably use almost any entity field to save something, if the entity is in fact a custom one.

don't use Edict for flagging

classname is probably best anyway, there a simple search for classnames in engine

Yeah, It's custom and don't like to create custom entites with the same function that has different classnames, so I'll use that!

Clearly.

@Avalanche, its possible that when searching for his flagged entity, another entity could very well have iuser1 set to 1, or something.

still Zenith has got a point there but if you filter the class name to that wont happen :-)
