select_ent question

[pma]

does anybody know why, when I select a point using the following select_ent call, i cant select the point multiple times?

 

rc = select_ent( &prompt[0], (ent *)&entity, &eptr, pos, &t, ALIVE_BIT, P_ID, (int)RED, &succf );

 

what I want is the x, y and z values of the point the user selects. i want every point to be available multiple times.

p.s. i did try unselecting the point doing:

 

unsel_ent( eptr );

 

but that didnt work.

I dont know,

I tried select_ent and I can select the same point multiple times.

 

if you mean you want multiple point entities at once, try select_ents ().

 

and if what you need is to select only points, point_proc() function will also do point selection.

 

just a thought.
