Is there any way to get the index of an entity when you activate it on a map? So, for example, if I were to have my player "speak" to an NPC, how can I get the NPC's index so I can stop it from wandering about while it's textbox-ing?

There is an event.entity, which (I think) refers to the entity which was "spoken to".

So you could go like this your system code:



int entity_speed[256];

void EntityPause(int ent)

{

	if (entity.speed[ent])

	{

		entity_speed[ent] = entity.speed[ent];

		entity.speed[ent] = 0;

	}

}



void EntityUnpause(int ent)

{

	if (entity_speed[ent])

	{

		entity.speed[ent] = entity_speed[ent];

		entity_speed[ent] = 0;

	}

}

Using functionality in your map event:



void TalkToSomeDude()

{

	EntityPause(event.entity);

	Textbox("blah blah blah");

	EntityUnpause(event.entity);

}
