I have the following
myobjs = getentarray("myobj","targetname");

Now what I need to do is move the entire array at once, I was thinking something like this, but doesn't work.

myobjs[] movex (50, 1); -or- myobjs movex(50,1);

any help would be appreciated greatly.

for (k=0;k<myobjs.size;k++)
{
   myobjs[k] movex(50,1);
}

thanks for the reply Cartaker,

I tried that but only one entity moved. Here is the script I setup based on your suggestion.

moveojbs()

{
myobjs = getentarray("myobj","targetname");
for(k=0;k<myobjs.size;k++)
while(1)
{
wait 3;
   myobjs[k] movex(50,0.01);
   myobjs[k] waittill("movedone");

wait 2;
   myobjs[k] movex(-50,0.01);
   myobjs[k] waittill("movedone");
}
}

Try something like this:

moveojbs()

{
myobjs = getentarray("myobj","targetname");

while(1)
{
		for(k=0;k<myobjs.size;k++)
		{
		
   			myobjs[k] movex(50,0.01);
   			myobjs[k] waittill("movedone");

			wait 2;
   			myobjs[k] movex(-50,0.01);
   			myobjs[k] waittill("movedone");
		
		}
}

}

In your code above, it looks like the for loop runs through once, then goes into the while loop, which then keeps on looping. Because of that, you have only defined one of the objects in the array.

if you want the entire array to mave as one object which is what i got from what you said your really better off making it as one brush model... but try this

moveojbs()
{
myobjs = getentarray("myobj","targetname");
wait 3;
for(k=0;k<myobjs.size;k++)
{
   myobjs[k] movex(50,0.01);
   if(k=myobjs.size)
	{
		myobjs[k] waittill("movedone")
	}
}
wait 2;
for(k=0;k<myobjs.size;k++)
{
   myobjs[k] movex(-50,0.01);
   if(k=myobjs.size)
	{
		myobjs[k] waittill("movedone")
	}
   
}
}

Thanks guys, works like a charm.

The reason I don't have it as a single brush model is that I have these entities built as a prefab, and I didnt want to tear that apart and add the part seperately.

I appreciate the help greatly.
