xformed coordinates problem

[maxs24]

Hello,

I've a problem rotating point entity using "rotate_silent" function.

I'm not able to get xformed XYZ coordinates even if I used "rewrite_ent" function!

 

Below is the code I used:

code:

---

...

store_ent(&ppp,&punt,0,13,main_level,main_attrib,&succf);

DB_LIST_ENT_PTR punt2 = ppp.eptr;

rotate_silent(&punt2, true, false, punto, ang,v.view_n, &succf2);

rewrite_ent(&ppp);

copy_p_3d(p_out,ppp.u.pt);

...

---

The point entity seems to be stored correctly, in fact I can see the rotated point on screen, but I can't get its coordinates!!!

 

I tried to use "copy_p_3d" and "get_ent_from_eptr" but the result is always the same!

 

Is there a way to get the xformed coordinates?

 

Thanks

Andrea

Looks like you're pulling from the wrong pointer. After rotating ppp.eptr != punt2.

 

try pulling from punt2->eptr->u.pt

 

store_ent updates the ppp variable but rotate_silent doesn't. The values in ppp become stale.
