Signature
native cs_find_ent_by_class(start_index, const classname[]);
Description
Finds an entity in the world using Counter-Strike's custom FindEntityByString
wrapper.
Notes
-
Unlike other mods CS keeps track of entities using a custom hashtable.
This function utilizes the hasthable and allows for considerably faster
classname lookup compared to the default FindEntityByString (used by
find_ent_by_class() for example).
-
This exclusively considers entities in the hashtable, created by the
game itself, using cs_create_entity(), or added via cs_set_ent_class().
Parameters
-
start_index
—
Entity index to start searching from. -1 to start from
the first entity
- classname — Classname to search for
Returns
Entity index > 0 if found, 0 otherwise
