''void'' '''setorigin'''(''entity'' e, ''vector'' newPos)
+
====Syntax:====
 +
<code>void setorigin(entity e, vector vec)</code>
  
== Usage ==
+
Sets the entity <code>e</code> to the position specified with <code>vec</code>. This is the correct way of setting an entity's position in the game.  Setting the <code>.origin</code> variable manually will cause problems with rendering.
Sets the entity's position. This should be used over setting '''origin''' manually since it will properly relink the entity into the world. This can also be used as an easy way to relink an entity after changing their solid type by passing their current position.
+
====Parameters:====
 
+
:<code>e</code> - The entity who's origin to set
=== Parameters ===
+
:<code>vec</code> - The new vector coordinates of the entity
*''e''
+
====Returns:====
:The entity to set the origin of.
+
:void
*''newPos''
 
:The new location to place the entity.
 
 
 
== Example ==
 
makevectors([-e.angles.x, e.angles.y, e.angles.z]);
 
 
// Move the entity 32 units forward in the direction it's facing
 
setorigin(e, e.origin + v_forward*32);
