But you can find the function addresses for those classes, at least under Linux. You need to search through the symbol table for hlds at runtime. I found some code to do this, (http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/1/274283/2002-07-10/2002-07-16/2), and I modified for c++ and fixed some various issues this morning. Theres probably a way to do something comparable under Win32, but from the sounds of it, this isnt a problem there.... There was a message on this list back at the end of august where someone was asking for ways to call CBasePlayer::TakeDamage since we dont have the source code for the particular version, I found a manual way to find the addresses, but no automatic way until now. There is still no way I know of to set variables on classes, though there probably is a way through the symbol table as well.. Let me know if you want that code _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders
