Hi!

Is there a way to set an entity field as a string?
eg: qcvm_set_field_string

Is there a way to set an entity field as a referene to another entity?
eg: qcvm_set_field_entity

Can it read/parse frame macros?

Can it read/parse animation state machine definitions?

I propose creating theset methods to get/set the index to a global entity stored in another entity field:

/* get entity field entity */
int qcvm_get_field_entity(qcvm_t* qcvm, int entity, int field)
{
	int byteOffset = FIELD_INT(entity, field);
	return byteOffset / ENTITY_SIZE;
}
/* set entity field entity */
void qcvm_set_field_entity(qcvm_t* qcvm, int entity, int field, int val)
{
	FIELD_INT(entity, field) = val * ENTITY_SIZE;
}

We could also store the index to the next state machine function from the STATE opcode:

QCVM_OPCODE_FUNC(STATE)
{
	qcvm->current_frame = qcvm->eval_p[1]->float_;
	qcvm->nextthink_p = qcvm->eval_p[2]->function;
}

And add the field to the qcvm_runtime struct so users could get the function index and execute it on their own state machine update cycle:

	int current_frame; /* index to the current mdl frame */
	int nextthink_p; /* index to the next think from the state*/
