Hey folks,
I want to change the y axis of an entity with 2 commands.

Every time you execute one of the commands, it will move 1 unit up/down.

How do I do that?

PS: I never scripted something for amxx...

Do you mean change its size or its origin?

//Fakemeta way:
new origin[3]
pev(ent, pev_origin, origin) 
engfunc(EngFunc_SetOrigin, ent, origin)
 
//Engine way:
new Float:origin[3]
entity_get_vector(ent, EV_VEC_ORIGIN, origin)
entity_set_vector(ent, EV_VEC_ORIGIN, origin)
 
origin[0] = X coordinate 
origin[1] = Y coordinate 
origin[2] = Z coordinate

Ah... Very well

Okay... And how do I reposition entities? I don't mean yourself... I mean the entity you are currently aiming at. How is that possible?

@Exolent:
I thought it's impossible to change the size of entities Oo (at least point entities)

Sorry, I don't understand that code^^

Can you please explain:
pev
engfunc
prameters of entity_[get/set]_vector

Thanks in advance,
Xan

Take a look at Engine module

Take a look at Fakemeta module

;)

I don't understand this page you sent me... Sorry^^
I don't understand the most documentations...

however

As far as i can see, this only set's the position of the entity "ent"...

How do I get the entity, the command executing player(or spectator), is looking at?

This way I can store it in "ent"...

I think I've understood the Engine way...

Long text... my question for short:
How to store the entity, you are looking at, in a variable?

I dont know how you can't understand the fakemeta way.

//look at the pev_* constants in the link i gave you
set_pev(index, pev_*, ...) //set
pev(index, pev_*, ...) //get
 
Engine EV_* works the same way.. :)

I suggest you to scroll all the functions on the both links.

That's what I've done now:

#include <amxmodx>
register_clcmd("e_up", "MoveEntUp",0, "")
register_clcmd("e_down", "MoveEntDown",0, "")

public MoveEntUp() {
    new ent;
    new Float:origin[3]
    entity_get_vector(ent, EV_VEC_ORIGIN, origin)
    origin[2] = origin[2] + 1
    entity_set_vector(ent, EV_VEC_ORIGIN, origin)
}

I think the only thing I haven't got is, setting the "ent" value...

How do I do that?
Have I forgot anything else?

Please help,
Xan
