pXent_addshape

pXent_addshape ( entity1, entity2, var hull );

This function adds a new shape to an actor, using the size of the entity2. If you want to create more complex, but static Actors, use pXent_settype with PH_CONVEX.

Parameters:

entity1	registered Entity pointer (Actor)
entity2	Entity (added shape size) or NULL. ( if NULL, entity1's size is used )
hull	PH_BOX, PH_SPHERE or PH_CAPSULE

Returns:

1 if successful, 0 otherwise.

Speed:

Fast

Examples:

...
pXent_addshape( my, box, PH_BOX, vector(0,0,40)); // adds a box-Actor with the size of the you entity to the my-entity-Actor.
pXent_RemoveShapeFromActor( my, 1); //removes the added box

...
