No, they don't. As has been stated before, they are cached internally. When I delete or add spawns, I get spawned at 0,0,0 and then the game crashes. You can CREATE_NAMED_ENTITY() just about anything but a spawn point, and you can REMOVE_ENTITY() only things you created with CREATE_NAMED_ENTITY().

Re: [hlcoders] Removing entities
Help!
(I have never coded for 1.5, but I am beginning to wish I had. Are they
going to make it this hard for us to do stuff in HL2?)
The DeleteCSWeapon is not working for me.
DeleteCSWeapon(models/w_awp.mdl,weapon_awp,index);
Am I using this wrong?
If I call this function when the player is carrying an AWP and there is
also an AWP on the floor, the server crashes.
Here is my code (I added your solidstate stuff to it):
void GiveNamedItem(edict_t *pEdict, const char *pszName)
{
if(strncmp(pszName,weapon_,7) == 0||
strncmp(pszName,item_,5) == 0|| strncmp(pszName,ammo_,5) == 0)
{
edict_t *pent;
int istr = MAKE_STRING(pszName);
pent = CREATE_NAMED_ENTITY(istr);
if(FNullEnt(pent))
{
ALERT(at_console, NULL Ent in GiveNamedItem!\n);
return;
}
VARS(pent)-origin = VARS(pEdict)-origin;
pent-v.spawnflags |= SF_NORESPAWN;
(*gpGamedllFuncs-dllapi_table-pfnSpawn)(pent);
int solidstate = pent-v.solid;
(*gpGamedllFuncs-dllapi_table-pfnTouch)(pent, pEdict);
if(pent-v.solid == solidstate)
REMOVE_ENTITY(pent);
}
}
And your code copied as is (pretty much).
void DeleteWeapon(char *weaponmodel, char *weapon, int player)
{
edict_t *pPlayer = INDEXENT(player);
edict_t *tEnt = FIND_ENTITY_BY_STRING(NULL, classname,
weaponbox);
edict_t *wEnt = NULL;
while (!FNullEnt(tEnt)) {
const char *model = STRING(model);
UTIL_LogPrintf(DeleteWeapon: %s\n,model);
if (strcmp(model, weaponmodel) == 0) {
if (ENTINDEX(tEnt-v.owner) == player) {
wEnt = FIND_ENTITY_BY_STRING(NULL,
classname, weapon);
while (!FNullEnt(wEnt)) {
if (ENTINDEX(wEnt-v.owner) ==
ENTINDEX(tEnt)) {
RemoveWeapon(wEnt);
}
wEnt =
FIND_ENTITY_BY_STRING(wEnt, classname, weapon);
} //finding wEnts
} //owners matched
RemoveWeapon(tEnt);
} //weapon matched
tEnt = FIND_ENTITY_BY_STRING(tEnt, classname,
weaponbox);
} //finding tEnts
}

RE: [hlcoders] Removing entities
Aw by spawn you mean creating the entities: info_player_deathmatch, info_player_start, or info_vip_start, if I understand you correctly? Never tried those. I know removing any of the entities that originate in a map is problematic. I can say I have never had issues adding or removing the entities: info_target, func_wall, or trigger_auto as I use them all the time. If I get some spare time I'll try playing with the spawn entities. No, they don't. As has been stated before, they are cached internally. When I delete or add spawns, I get spawned at 0,0,0 and then the game crashes. You can CREATE_NAMED_ENTITY() just about anything but a spawn point, and you can REMOVE_ENTITY() only things you created with CREATE_NAMED_ENTITY().

Re: [hlcoders] Removing entities
along the same lines.. i made a mod that worked for 1.5 that gave every
player all weapons, now in 1.6 it get to 4/5 and crashes, the code im using
is:
for (int i=0;iMAX_CWEAPONS;i++)
{
edict_t *r = CREATE_NAMED_ENTITY(MAKE_STRING(cWeapons[i]));
r-v.spawnflags |= SF_NORESPAWN;
r-v.origin = a-v.origin + Vector(1,1,1);
pEntity = (CBaseEntity *)GET_PRIVATE(r);
if (pEntity)
{
pEntity-pev-absmin = pEntity-pev-origin - Vector(1,1,1);
pEntity-pev-absmax = pEntity-pev-origin + Vector(1,1,1);
pEntity-Spawn();
}
}
anyone have any ideas why it crashes?

RE: [hlcoders] Removing entities
I just did a test of creating an info_player_deathmatch entity (Terrorist spawn point in CS) and had no server crash. I was also able to remove the spawn point without a crash. I can not guarantee that hlds actually would use the spawn point since I have no easy way of testing that functionality. I looked back in the emails and found your original question David posted on 2/15/2004 about your deathmatch mod. My geuss your problem steamed from: I have tried blocking REMOVE_ENTITY calls from the CS Engine, and that sort of works... not. CS is still making illegal calls (and apparently, doesn't check to see if they're valid or not). The basic rule seems to be create it through api calls, free it through api calls. Don't tamper with its free mechanism or pointers will get unhappy :) I can see blocking the REMOVE_ENTITY call as a procedure that would get the cache out of sync. Hope this helps. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of David Anderson Sent: Friday, April 30, 2004 12:01 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [hlcoders] Removing entities No, they don't.

RE: [hlcoders] Removing entities
You are referencing CBaseEntity. Since we do not have the schema they
use for that class is CS you would get crashes.
It appears the class schema differs between the SDK and Counter-Strike.
Methods or attributes were probability added to the classes.
Bottom line is you can only access edict_t data types and can use none
of the SDK class hierarchy.
