Signature
native get_ent_data_entity(entity, const class[], const member[], element = 0);
Description
Retrieves an entity index from an entity's private data based off a class
and member name.
Notes
-
Unlike the [get|set]_pdata_* natives that require compiling the class
member offset into the plugin, this native instead retrieves the
necessary offset from the AMXX gamedata files at runtime, based on the
provided class and member name.
-
This native is safer than [get|set]_pdata_* as it can perform stricter
offset and typing checks.
-
This native is used to access the following (C++/engine) data types:
classptr, entvars, edict and ehandle.
Parameters
- entity — Entity index
- class — Class name
- member — Member name
- element — Element to retrieve (starting from 0) if member is an array
Returns
Entity index if found, -1 otherwise
Errors
-
If an invalid entity is provided, either class or member is
empty, no offset is found or an invalid offset is retrieved,
or the data type does not match, an error will be thrown.
