Which OnRightClicked() do you mean? There's only OnPlayerRightClickingEntity() and there's a reason for it to give a cPlayer - only players may right-click other entities. So what are you trying to accomplish here?

In Wolf.h I have

1 2	cEntity * m_bOwner; void SetOwner(cEntity * a_Entity = NULL) { m_bOwner = a_Entity; }

so that other entities can have a dog using plugins, but because of that I can't use

1	SetOwner(a_Player);

in Wolf.cpp.

[xoft]

You can. cPlayer IS a cEntity, so once you fix the indirections, it will work. SetOwner() is expecting a pointer, you're (probably) giving it a reference.

1	SetOwner(&a_Player);

should work

It was that simple.. Thanks

Also, I think you should get rid of the default param for SetOwner(). It doesn't make sense that we even allow a call to SetOwner without the param; and if we want to remove ownership, we want to have it explicit: SetOwner(NULL)

I've commited my changes to an branch: https://github.com/mc-server/MCServer/tree/WolfUpdate

Problem with this code is that once the owner disconnects from the server, the wolf will crash - it has a pointer to an object that's no longer there. And when the player reconnects, there's no way they can re-claim their wolves.
I think it'd be better to store the owner's name. That way it won't crash and it will survive a reconnect; a name can also be saved to the world file. Your best bet would be to check the NBT structure in vanilla to see how it does this.

Now you mention it thats a big problem. I gues my idea to make other entities have wolves isn't going to work ;( Could you them maybe explain how to create an callback? So I can use it in cWorld::FindAndDoWithPlayer().

[NiLSPACE]

I created an callback but I get spammed with the message

That's the string comparison function having some debugging output. Why are you using "FindAndDoWithPlayer()"? That one does similarity comparison, you want exact-matching, so DoWithPlayer() should be the right one.

What are you using the callback for anyway? Is that even needed?
