Spawning an entity - NiLSPACE - 08-03-2013
Maybe it would be usefull when spawning an entity it returns the entity object/ID. for example if you spawn a mob or a pickup you get the entity object.
local Creeper = World:SpawnMob(X, Y, Z, 50)

The server already does so.
Don't forget to use named constants instead of numbers (E_ENTITY_TYPE_CREEPER instead of 50)
Maybe we should rename the SpawnMob() function to SpawnMonster(), so that it corresponds with the overall naming (cMonster class)
RE: Spawning an entity - NiLSPACE - 08-05-2013
Maybe we also need a cRoot:Get():GetEntity(EntityID)
RE: Spawning an entity - xoft - 08-05-2013
Can't do. By the time you get the cEntity object, it may already have been freed by another thread in the server.
We have a cWorld::DoWithEntytiByID(), I just noticed it is not exported to Lua yet, I'll do that soon (ish
