Handles

I'm curious about something, are handles just integers? Like if I assign a handle to an entity or mesh, and I get rid of the handle itself, (not delete the entity), and assign the handle to another variable, would it still function normally?

I'm thinking of making an accessor for a type that holds an entity handle. I'm also going to probably create a temp variable store it into that while creating, and then pass it to my type field for the entity, would this work?

Handles are just variables holding Ints. If you re-use handle names you must be careful to free the object/media it points to first.

idon't want to reuse handle names, i want to use temporary handle variables... because my type has a field for entities...

Type TGameObject
  Field m_entity
End Type

temp = CreateCube()
SetGameObjectEntity( gameobject, temp )
temp = 0

Essentially m_entity = temp - as it will hold
the handle

You can set m_entity=temp then reset temp.
What problem are you getting when you try it?

i'm just asking if this is ok to do.
