retrieve Vec3 of a sandbox model

[NivorbiaN]

I placed a model (node_spawns_spawn01.gmf) in a map.sbx and named it in the editor "spawn_a01"

 

what I want to happen is when I press the "r" key, that the controller is being moved to the object i named "spawn_a01"

 

so i type:

 

 

if (KeyHit(KEY_R))

{

TVec3 spawnpos; //Create a TVec3 position to store the model position

EntityPosition(spawn_a01, &spawnpos); //Get position of model and store it in spawnpos.

PositionEntity(g_player01, spawnpos, 1); //Position the controller at the spawn model

}

 

logic tells that spawn_a01 needs to be defined, otherwise I get a "error C2065: 'spawn_a01' : undeclared identifier"

 

but when i define it as follows

 

TEntity spawn_a01;

 

i get the following compiler error ": error C2664: 'EntityPosition' : cannot convert parameter 2 from 'TVec3 *' to 'int'"

 

probably i am thinking wrong in how I should approach this.

 

please someone put me on the right track.

scene = LoadScene( ... );
TModel spawn_a01 = FindChild( scene, "spawn_a01" );

...

while( ... )
{
...

   if (KeyHit(KEY_R))
   {
       PositionEntity(g_player01, EntityPosition(spawn_a01), 1); //Position the controller at the spawn model
   }
}
