[Q] About Set/GetEntityUserData

[Ywa]

Hello. I'm trying to change a model (that means both mesh/physbody) for an entity and keep its properties intact (like velocity, keys, position, angles, color,etc). I've browsed the wiki to find a function suitable for me. I'm not sure about Set/GetEntityUserData. The wiki doesn't seem to say much. Anyone care to help me with a detailed explanation on how these 2 functions work. More over, how can I solve my SetModel function problem? Help is much appreciated.

You forget to say on what programming language?

 

In BMax:

 

Type MyData
   field x,y,z
end type

c=createcube()

md:MyData=new MyData
md.x=1
md.y=2
md.z=3

setentityuserdata c,md

' and now we can get data:

md=MyData(getentityuserdata(c))

print md.x
print md.y
print md.z

Language doesn't matter, thanks anyway. What about solving the SetModel function? I mean, isn't there any way than copying every property?

There's a function to copy all the keys over to some other entity, but the physics and position attributes you have to copy yourself.

Okay, thanks for clearing things up.
