EntityList

EntityList

• The EntityList is a lua metatable.

---

Accessing the EntityList

• The EntityList can be called with several filters, seperated by comma, which can be combined to get the object(s) wanted. Make sure you use a combination of filters which can logically combined, meaning, using "nearest,lowesthealth" wont work, since each of it excludes the usage of the other.
• Example:

local el = EntityList("nearest,onmesh,gatherable,maxdistance=20")
if ( el ) then
   local i,e = next(el)
   while (i~=nil and e~=nil) do
      -- the 'd' command is a global command for printing out information into the console
      d("EntityIndex: ".. tostring(i).. " EntityTableWithAllData : "..tostring(e))  
      local i,e = next(el)  
   end  
end
