Thanks for the clarification. Yes, he actually said copy the code and use it so who knows?... <smile> Anyway, as for my lil' entity, it's still not behaving quite right but it is spawning in the right place initially, even if it doesn't move afterward. <smile> go figure!... Actually, now that I'm on the subject again, is there a way to play a sample looped? I'm capitalizing on what I think is a bug right now to accomplish it, but I'd love love love to know other ways if there are any? <smile> I need to make the lightsaber keep humming and I have a sample I'm using currently, which will work, but because of a mod of the actual wave file and not of a command in quake. So I'm hoping there's a better way.
  Anyway, again, have an awesome weekend!!!...

Smiles,

I'd agree with what you've read; setting the origin directly is not the
way to go according to most people.  I think maybe he could have been
simplifying things for an example to avoid setorigin() whilst explaining
the meaning of what he was describing.  I'd be very surprised if that
actually worked as it looks like it is intended to from the code.
