ent_reload

ent_reload(ENTITY*);

Reloads the entity from hard disk. Can be used for reloading an externally modified model, sprite, or terrain.

Parameters:

ENTITY* - entity pointer.

Speed:

Slow

Remarks:

The function increases the nexus memory allocated, depending on the number of vertices and frames of the model.
The function affects all entities that use the same file, unless they were cloned by ent_clone before.

Example:

function main()
{
  level_load(NULL);
  vec_set(camera.x,vector(-250,0,50));
  you = ent_create("warlock.mdl",NULL,NULL);
   
  while (!key_a) wait(1); 
  ent_reload(you); // reload the entity after pressing the [A] key
};
