Function: nextent

entity nextent(entity e)

Returns entity that is just after e in the entity list. Useful to browse the list of entities, because it skips the undefined ones. Function: find

entity find (entity start, .string field, string match)

 start = begining of list to search (world, for the begining of list)
 field = entity field that must be examined (ex: targetname)
 match = value that must be matched (ex: other.target)
 returns the entity found, or world if no entity was found.

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.
