''entity'' '''nextent'''(''entity'' start)
+
== Function: nextent ==
  
== Usage ==
+
entity nextent(entity e)
Gets the next entity in the list of all entities. Passing '''world''' will get the very first entity. Can be used to iterate through all entities and update them if <code>find()</code> is not general enough.
 
  
=== Parameters ===
+
Returns entity that is just after e in the entity list.
*''start''
+
Useful to browse the list of entities, because it skips the undefined ones.
:The entity to start from, exclusive.
+
Function: find
  
=== Return ===
+
entity find (entity start, .string field, string match)
The next entity in the list, or '''world''' if at the end.
 
  
== Example ==
+
  start = begining of list to search (world, for the begining of list)
// This goes through every entity and disables their collision
+
 
for (entity it = nextent(world); it; it = nextent(it))
+
  field = entity field that must be examined (ex: targetname)
{
+
 
    if (it.solid == SOLID_BBOX || it.solid == SOLID_SLIDEBOX)
+
  match = value that must be matched (ex: other.target)
    {
+
 
        it.solid = SOLID_NONE;
+
returns the entity found, or world if no entity was found.
        setorigin(it, it.origin); // Relink them
+
 
    }
+
Searches the server entity list beginning at start, looking for an entity that has entity.field = match.
}
+
 
 +
 
 +
Example: find the first player entity
 +
 
 +
e = find( world, classname, "player");
 +
 
 +
Take care that field is a name of an entity field, without dot, and without quotes.
