Entity metadata - cedeel - 06-14-2012
From cPawn.h:
Quote:Code:enum MetaData {NORMAL, BURNING, CROUCHED, RIDING, SPRINTING, EATING, BLOCKING};
According to MinecraftCoalition, the entities can have a variety of metadata.
I was going to make slimes spawn in different sizes, but I couldn't find a way to set their metadata value to something not in that enum.
Should the enum be replaced or do we need another variable?

Any opinions on this?

I haven't studied the MCC very thoroughly, but from that it seems that metadata can come in variety of flavors, I'd say we need to rework the cPawn's metadata concept altogether - make it a map<index, value>, where index is the lower 5 bits and value's type *somehow* depends on the index meaning.
