C_SCAN help please - 01/20/13 13:48

Hello,

I think i am stuck badly with c_scan, i need your help please.
I can't find a way to scan all the entities in a given range and turn their certain flags on if detected.
The problem with c_scan is that it always return when detected the first nearest entity and wouldn't continue scanning for others???

What is the solution for this problem please?

you can use ent_next to go trough all entities
Code:
for(you = ent_next(NULL); you; you = ent_next(you))
{
if(vec_dist(my.x, you.x) > myDistance)
continue; // Skip unwanted entities
// DO stuff here :

set(you, FLAG1);

}

It is very costly if you have lots of entities in your level. specially in my case where all enemy entities would be using this function frequently.
I don't want to go through all the entities in my level to find who is in the range i am already using cpu power with c_scan.

yeah, but c_scan uses much more code (and also loops through all entities...)

c_scan probably skips most of the entities because it has access to the ABT, like c_move and c_trace do.

The solution is (like almost always) included in the manual below the instruction, you just have to use ENABLE/EVENT_SCAN and event.

if you use c_scan inside an action, you can try event_detect in its event function. I think it should be the behavior you are looking for.
