vec_for_ent (position, entity)
Converts the given position vector from the entity coordinate system to a world coordinate position.
function move_halo()
{
while(you)
{
vec_set(my.pan, your.pan);
vec_set(my.x, vector(0, 0, 80)); // the halo floats 80 quants above its creator's origin
vec_for_ent(my.x, you); // convert this position to world coordinates
wait(1);
}
ent_remove(my); // the creator has been removed here, so remove the halo as well
}
action moving_entity()
{
ent_create("halo.tga", nullvector, move_halo);
while (1)
{
my.x += 1 - random(2); // plain random movement (no collision detection!)
my.y += 1 - random(2);
wait (1);
}
}
ent_type (entity)
Returns the type of the entity or the type of the current level for ent_type(NULL).
0 - No valid type
1 - Polygon based BSP map (A4, A5, A6)
2 - Mesh based ABT map (A7)
3 - Mesh based BSP map (A7)
4 - Terrain
5 - Model
6 - Sprite
var entity_type;
BMAP* arrow_pcx = "arrow.pcx";
function mouse_startup()
{
// allow the player to touch the entities even if they are 5,000 quants away from the camera
mouse_range = 5000;
mouse_mode = 1;
mouse_map = arrow_pcx;
while (1)
{
vec_set(mouse_pos, mouse_cursor);
wait(1);
}
}
function type_startup()
{
while (1)
{
entity_type = ent_type(mouse_ent);
wait (1);
}
}
PANEL* test_pan =

Map_compiler improvements
The map compiler now supports a smooth flag for Lighting v2.0.
