Entity Use

[Manmax75]

Hey I am making an ent and I am wondering how can I make it so it doesn't collide with players but players can still trigger the ENT:Use() function.

This code spawns the ent:

	local secretent = ents.Create("ttt_secretent")
	if ValidEntity(secretent) then
		
		secretent:SetPos(ply:GetPos())
		secretent:SetOwner(ply)
		secretent:Spawn()
		
		local phys = secretent:GetPhysicsObject()
		if ValidEntity(phys) then
			phys:EnableMotion(false)
		end

And this is my ENT:Initialize function:

self.Entity:SetModel(self.Model)
	
	
	if SERVER then
		self.Entity:PhysicsInit(SOLID_VPHYSICS)
	end
	self.Entity:SetMoveType(MOVETYPE_VPHYSICS)
	self.Entity:SetSolid(SOLID_VPHYSICS)
	self.Entity:SetCollisionGroup(COLLISION_GROUP_NONE)
	
	if SERVER then
		self.Entity:SetUseType(SIMPLE_USE)
	end

So how can I make it non-collideable to players yet still useable?

Use COLLISION_GROUP_WEAPON, then it won't collide with players, while still colliding with other things.

Then to make +use work, do the following. This is TTT specific stuff, for the record, won't work in sandbox.

-- In the SENT script, server or shared
ENT.CanUseKey = true

function ENT:UseOverride(ply)
   ply:ChatPrint("You used me!")
end

Of course everything related to Source's standard use stuff, like SetUseType, will not affect this. You should run whatever you want to happen when a player +uses the entity in the UseOverride function.
