Hey I was just working on a script and noticed that there is no function for finding ents by their EntID. This is something for the mecklenburg_final map and the doors are labeled with the same targetname but different EntID's. I searched for the function already and couldn't find one that might work. If anyone has any ideas please help.

What?

Entities in AMXx scripting are the numbers of the entity IDs, so if you already know the ID to search for then you already have the entity handle.

Yeah just realized how stupid taht question was after i thought about it...

I got another question... I'm trying to use the force_use function like this

force_use(id,49)

where id is the players id and 49 is the EntID...but it won't seem to work.

bump

a) What entity is 49?

b) How can you be sure that 49 is an entity?

[kryptonyte]

Well entity 49 is a rotating door and i know it is real because ive checked it in game.


Classname: func_door_rotating
Target:
Targetname: ricksofficedoors
Health: 2000.000000
EntID: 49
Angles: 0.000000 0.00000

because u need to touch it not use

[kryptonyte]

I'm using the same function on other rotating doors just using find_ent_by_tname but for these doors it wont work since three doors use the same tname.

a) Entity indexes, besides players, aren't static, they can change due to certain conditions (maxplayers changing is one).

b) Try what Freecode said, instead of forcing a use force a player to touch it.

You could check it for name and position, you'll probably have to hard code the pos into the plugin, but if its for a specific map it should be fine.
