[hlcoders] Finding the entity based on the userid
This is a multi-part message in MIME format. -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] I was just wondering how I can get an entity or an index of the entity that is fired. Meaning the player_hurt event is fired and I get a userid of 2. Will this is different than the IndexOfEdict function in engine. How can I determine the IndexOfEdict or get the pointer to the entity of a userid?

RE: [hlcoders] Finding the entity based on the userid
OK all I have is the playerid (userid). How do I get a pointer to the entity having this userid? And I CANNOT use IndexOfEdict b/c that is a different number. For example, I join a game then I call the iplayerinfo on myself and find out that my userid is 2. But IndexOfEdict is 1. They are different.

Re: [hlcoders] Finding the entity based on the userid
When you have the userid (the thing that appears in the logs and such), you can do the loop thing to get the entity id (as described by Marcelo and me before). Then, you can do PEntFromEntIndex (or whatever) to get the edict pointer.

RE: [hlcoders] Finding the entity based on the userid
Yea that's what I was thinking :( I was really hoping to not do that, as a
LOT of functions will need to call that function. (I'm working on a war3 mod
for CSS, just building the groundwork). So every time someone is shot /
died that will be called twice. Doesn't that seem intensive? Do you think
valve could create an easier way?

You need the updated value eveyframe?
often its better to build linked list with interesting values than
querying everything everywhere.
- a linked list of players
- a linked list of waypoints, etc.
- a linked list of buildings, etc..
Having to search everything to search the nearest Orc building its a bad
idea. While a loop with p = p-next its fastest than light

Re: [hlcoders] Finding the entity based on the userid
You can code the loop so it looks up both pEntities on a single pass.
(You will be special casing this one to speed things up).
Copy and paste from my plugin:
---
for(i=1;i=maxplayers (!pVictim || !pAttacker;i++)) {
edict_t *pEntity = engine-PEntityOfEntIndex(i);
if(!pEntity || pEntity-IsFree()) {
continue;
}
int this_uid = engine-GetPlayerUserId(pEntity);
if(this_uid=0) {
if(uid == this_uid) {
pVictim = pEntity;
}
if(attacker == this_uid) {
pAttacker = pEntity;
}
}
}

I am generating an attacked logline to be used on my tk prevention system :)

Re: [hlcoders] Finding the entity based on the userid
In the end, I think it comes down to a simple profiling decision.
The question being: Which method is more economical?
If you're handling an event that happens often...like player_death, my guess is
the extra 64
bits (depending on the compiler) per player might be worth the amount of
function calls if
you're doing it often. It'll certainly prevent sudden choppiness; replacing it
with negligible(?)
sluggishness.
Of course, I base this on absolutely nothing as I haven't profiled the
difference.
