void setorigin(entity e, vector newPos)

Usage

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

e

The entity to set the origin of.

newPos

The new location to place the entity.

Example

vector angs = e.angles;
angs_x = -angs_x;
makevectors(angs);

// Move the entity 32 units forward in the direction it's facing
setorigin(e, e.origin + v_forward*32);

-====Syntax:====
+''void'' '''setorigin'''(''entity'' e, ''vector'' newPos)
-<code>void setorigin(entity e, vector vec)</code>
-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.
