RE: a question...

What's the difference? You can place entities deactivated, then activate specific entity you want to create at that area.

Wiki has something for this.

void CreateEntityAtArea(string& asEntityName, string& asEntityFile, string& asAreaName, bool abFullGameSave);

Creates an entity at an area.

asEntityName - internal name
asEntityFile - entity to be used + extension .ent
asAreaName - the area to create the entity at
abFullGameSave - determines whether an entity “remembers” its state

well do you remenber that one time i asked you at youtube how did you made the bilboard disapear from the flash light? but you said it wouldn't work the same way whit a monster? well this is kinda a way to go around that problem... or do you rather see some glowing eyes float in the nothing?

RE: a question...

Hmm. I still have some floating billboards. Did you find a workaround?
