[NodeMod Core]

/ .. / default

Class: default

Defined in: src/enhanced/entity.ts:88

Comprehensive entity management system providing enhanced entity creation, searching, and manipulation. Wraps raw nodemod entities with convenient property accessors and utility methods.

Example​

// Find all players
const players = nodemodCore.entity.find({ className\: 'player' });
players.forEach(player => {
  console.log(`Player at\: ${player.origin}`);
});

// Create a light entity
const light = nodemodCore.entity.createLight([100, 200, 300], '_light', 500);
if (light) {
  light.targetName = 'my_light';
}

// Find entities near a position
const nearby = nodemodCore.entity.findInSphere([0, 0, 0], 512, 'weapon_ak47');
console.log(`Found ${nearby.length} AK47s nearby`);

Constructors​

Constructor​

new default(utilService): NodemodEntity

Defined in: src/enhanced/entity.ts:97

Creates a new NodemodEntity instance.

Parameters​

utilService​

default

Utility service for entity operations

Returns​

NodemodEntity

Properties​

util​

private util: default

Defined in: src/enhanced/entity.ts:90

Utility service for entity operations

Methods​

create()​

create(className): null | EntityWrapper

Defined in: src/enhanced/entity.ts:119

Creates a new entity with optional class name.

Parameters​

className​

Entity class name (e.g., 'info_player_start', 'weapon_ak47')

null | string

Returns​

null | EntityWrapper

EntityWrapper for the created entity, or null if creation failed

Example​

// Create a generic entity
const entity = nodemodCore.entity.create();

// Create a specific entity class
const weapon = nodemodCore.entity.create('weapon_ak47');
if (weapon) {
  weapon.origin = [100, 200, 300];
}

wrap()​

wrap(entity): null | EntityWrapper

Defined in: src/enhanced/entity.ts:162

Wraps a raw nodemod entity with enhanced functionality while preserving nodemod.eng compatibility. The entity object itself is returned with additional methods attached, ensuring full compatibility with core nodemod.eng functions.

Parameters​

entity​

Entity

The raw nodemod entity to wrap

Returns​

null | EntityWrapper

EntityWrapper with enhanced functionality, or null if entity is invalid

Example​

const rawEntity = nodemod.eng.pEntityOfEntIndex(1);
const wrapped = nodemodCore.entity.wrap(rawEntity);
if (wrapped) {
  console.log(`Entity class\: ${wrapped.classname}`);
  wrapped.health = 100;
  wrapped.emitSound(0, 'items/healthkit.wav');
  // Still compatible with nodemod.eng functions\:
  nodemod.eng.setOrigin(wrapped, [0, 0, 0]);
}

find()​

find(criteria): EntityWrapper[]

Defined in: src/enhanced/entity.ts:280

Finds entities matching the specified criteria.

Parameters​

criteria​

EntityCriteria

Search criteria to filter entities

Returns​

EntityWrapper[]

Array of EntityWrapper objects matching the criteria

Example​

// Find all players
const players = nodemodCore.entity.find({ className\: 'player' });

// Find entities with specific target name
const targets = nodemodCore.entity.find({ targetName\: 'button_secret' });

// Find entities with specific flags
const onGroundEntities = nodemodCore.entity.find({ 
  flags\: nodemod.FL.ONGROUND 
});

// Combine multiple criteria
const healthyPlayers = nodemodCore.entity.find({
  className\: 'player',
  health\: 100
});

findOne()​

findOne(criteria): null | EntityWrapper

Defined in: src/enhanced/entity.ts:355

Finds the first entity matching the specified criteria. Convenience method for when you only need one result.

Parameters​

criteria​

EntityCriteria

Search criteria to filter entities

Returns​

null | EntityWrapper

First EntityWrapper matching criteria, or null if none found

Example​

// Find first player
const player = nodemodCore.entity.findOne({ className\: 'player' });
if (player) {
  console.log(`Player health\: ${player.health}`);
}

// Find specific target
const secretButton = nodemodCore.entity.findOne({ 
  targetName\: 'secret_button' 
});

findInSphere()​

findInSphere(origin, radius, className): EntityWrapper[]

Defined in: src/enhanced/entity.ts:390

Finds entities within a spherical radius of a position. Uses actual entity bounds, not just origin points - works correctly with brush entities.

Parameters​

origin​

number[]

Center position [x, y, z] to search from

radius​

number

Search radius in world units

className​

Optional filter by entity class name

null | string

Returns​

EntityWrapper[]

Array of EntityWrapper objects within the sphere

Example​

// Find all entities near player
const playerPos = [100, 200, 300];
const nearbyEntities = nodemodCore.entity.findInSphere(playerPos, 512);

// Find specific entity types nearby
const nearbyWeapons = nodemodCore.entity.findInSphere(
  playerPos, 
  256, 
  'weapon_ak47'
);

// Find entities in explosion radius
const explosionPos = [0, 0, 0];
const affected = nodemodCore.entity.findInSphere(explosionPos, 200);
affected.forEach(entity => {
  // Apply damage logic
});
