Controlling player with C++

[StOneDOes]

Hi guys,

Just wondering if it's possible to control an FPS player who has been placed with the level editor, with C++. I'd like to change things such as the player speed, footstep sounds, camera position (3rd person), etc. All things that I expect to be simple in practise, if only I could access the player entity.

Is this possible or am I better off re-writing my own player class?

EDIT:

Also, while I'm here, since I only know a little about lua scripting, I have a couple questions regarding it. What is the script compiled into? What is its speed comparison to C++?

 

Thank you.

In c++ its better to create player in code from the start rather than place it in the editor since it only takes a few lines of code.

 

c++ has a speed advantage over lua , but lua script is fast enough.

Hi

Yes, you can access any entity created on a map looping on the world entities collection
