I cant seem to get start_touch to convert the Pointers to Entities not sure what I'm doing wrong.

@EntityPostHook(EntityCondition.equals_entity_classname("trigger_multiple"), 'start_touch')
def Entity_StartTouch(stack, arg2):
	#arg2 seems to always be None
	ent = make_object(Entity, stack[0])
	ent2 = make_object(Entity, stack[1])

Code: Select all

[SP] Caught an Exception:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "..\addons\source-python\plugins\timer\timer.py", line 99, in Entity_StartTouch
    ent = make_object(Entity, stack[0])
  File "..\addons\source-python\packages\source-python\entities\_base.py", line 218, in _obj
    return cls(index_from_pointer(ptr))

ValueError: Conversion from "Pointer" (<_memory.Pointer object at 0x00DD44A0>) to "Index" failed.

"arg2" is the return value of the original function. In this case it always returns None, because CBaseEntity::StartTouch doesn't return something (the return type is void, which means that nothing is being returned).

Regarding your actual problem:
You are probably experiencing the same issue like here:
