'Feature' Request: GetEntityRadius()

Topic says it all. I could use this to make using certain aspects of my particle system much easier (setting the radius of deflectors, emitters, etc.) Also, I'd of course like to have GetEntityCube() too, so I can retrieve those values as well. Maybe add the extra functions CubeMinX(),CubeMaxY(), etc. to get the values.

You can still store these values when you set them, but of course these functions would cut out a small amount of work.

Hi! 232 | Entityradius X 236 | Entityradius Y 240 | Entityradius Z 264 | EntityBox X 268 | EntityBox Y 272 | EntityBox Z Add to the Entityhandle one of this values left in the table, and you can get the floatvalue. use this: .lib "kernel32.dll" apiRtlMoveMemory%(Destination,Source*,Length) : "RtlMoveMemory" apiRtlMoveMemory2%(Destination*,Source,Length) : "RtlMoveMemory" To get EntityBox X, Y and Z you must do this: vEntityBox = CreateBank(12) apiRtlMoveMemory2(vEntityBox, MyEntity+264, 12) DebugLog "EntityBox X: "+PeekFloat#(vEntityBox, 0) DebugLog "EntityBox Y: "+PeekFloat#(vEntityBox, 4) DebugLog "EntityBox Z: "+PeekFloat#(vEntityBox, 8) cu olli

Can you use this method to pick and poke video memory too?

Vertex: Thanks, I really should try screwing around with these properties some time.

eBusiness : Yes, they are hacking work around blitz to get a acces to any good thinks like direct video acces(verry fast in blitz2d to compute alphablending in realtime), meshtmodification etc. Noel R. Cower: np cu olli
