Copy entity

[gladers]

I have all the code ready to point at an entity and get the entity i am pointing at.

I would like to make a copy of it and place it on the map so i can make duplicates. I just need it to be a new entity with the same model, it doesnt have to copy all of the properties, health ect.

Thx,

Gladers

Not sure if I get the problem you are having.

I am guessing you have fired out a trace and hit an entity then you can just cast this entity to a new point and grab all the data you need to create a new entity with all the right properties. Surely that should be quite simple.

Just want to make a clone of it. i.e. point at an object and then it creates a duplicate of it on the map. So you then have 2 of them on the map.

youll have to create a new entity using CreateEntityByName(char* entclass) using the pointed ents GetClassName(), then iterate all the important members and copy them.

Perfect, thanks!
