edict_t *pPlayer- Mean Anything to You?

Hi,

I'm taking a look at the HPB bot template, trying to understand and edit a bit of basic stuff in there. You won't need to understand the bot to answer my question though, I think. It's pretty basic.

In the source code file, bot.cpp, there's a function that is declared as follows:

void BotCreate( edict_t *pPlayer, const char *arg1, const char *arg2,const char *arg3, const char *arg4).

Okay. Now within that function there are the following declarations of pointers:


edict_t *BotEnt; bot_t *pBot;

I have this idea that these pointers point to structures in another code file, that contain loads of functions and variables and stuff. Hence:

[size=13]
BotEnt->v.idealpitch = BotEnt->v.v_angle.x;

and other stuff like:

[size=13]
pBot->idle_angle = 0.0;


So what I'm thinking is that in the botcreate function declaration, edict_t *pPlayer is going to basically identify each bot in the same way that each player would be identified in a game. Is this right? Sorry if this sounds dumb, I'm just trying to figure out how this works.

Ask somebody else.In the snarkpit there are only mapers.Sorry.

Hay I'm a coder. But not very good.... yet. Breengreenwood, please ask me this question in 6 months. But from my experiance with coding tutorials, they aren't very reliable and never usually work.

However, give this guy an email sysop_axis@hotmail.com. He is the project lead for arrange mode, ask him, he will know for sure :wink: .

In the bot.cpp, look at the #include statements to see where 'edict_t' could be included from. Look in the #include cpps.

Another suggestion would be is to open windows search tool search wherever your keeping the source code and type "edict_t" into the 'A word or phrase in the file' feature. This will turn up every file that has the 'edict_t' used in it. You may even go further to look for
