I don't think it's possible. All strings in QuakeC, AFAIK, are const and can't be modified, concatenated, etc.

I'm new to QuakeC but would:
Be any more reliable? Checking for == with floats is often bad news in C based languages.

Sure, I can jigger up centerprint to put stuff in the middle of the screen but I was looking for something more than that. It evidently doesn't exist. Ahh well.

Yeah, thanks all! Got the message.

Is that vanilla Quake 1? If so, how please.

I tried burping but it didn't produce those same results. What is that, a bunch of centerprint'ing or something else?

OK, thanks guys! I think I've got a handle on it now...

OK, I'm trying to spawn monsters by hand and having a hard time. I can get them into the world at the location/rotation that I want but I can't seem to activate them (aka make them hostile towards the player) without them doing bizarro stuff.

I do something like this:

local entity SS;

SS ...

I'm getting the impression from my searching that the answer is NO, but is there a way to customize the HUD in vanilla Quake 1 via QuakeC?

Even the ability to put up some text strings each frame would be enough.

Thanks guys! It never occured to me that "self" would be writable. Nice!

So I'm hacking around with some stuff and have a question. I know QuakeC isn't object oriented so you can't call methods within entities but at the same ... man, that would be handy.

I find myself setting up stuff like changing an entities think function to point to a function where I can do ...

Ahh OK, that makes sense then. Thanks!

This is probably obvious but here goes...

I'm getting my feet wet in QuakeC lately and I'm wondering if it's possible to read custom key/values from the entity? Like if I define a custom combo:

"mykey" "123"

Can I get that value out somehow when I'm in QuakeC? What is the function call I would ...
