Copying Pointer to Actor

[jazz_e_bob]

Example usage:

Code: Select all

Actor *actorWithBestHealth = getclone("invalid.0");

if ( actor[i].myHealth > actorWithBestHealth->myHealth )
  // what do I type here?

how do I copy the pointer to the actor?
eg actorWithBestHealth = getclone(actor[i]);

Thanks people.

I didn't understand. What do you want?

( Sorry, I had too much red wine when I asked that one. )

How do I copy pointers to actors in script?

For example:

Actor *actorA = getclone("copyMe.0");
Actor *actorB;

actorB = actorA; // how do I do this bit?



What I want to do:

I want to be able to grab all actors at regular intervals. I am using the getAllActorsInCollision method.

I want to process the list in order to return pointers to useful actors.

For example:

healthiestSoldier
closestFood

This would also pave the way for a line of sight system.

closestVisibleZombie

Just doing actorB = actorA; don't works?

Yes.
