Allow certain entity possession.

[phoenixf129]

Is there a way i can allow spectators to spectate / control entities i've created? I've done something silly and made an edible kfc bucket, but i want spectaotrs to be able to possess them :)

Any way i can allow?

( entity name is ttt_kfc )

ENT.AllowPropspec = true

[edit: fixed typo]

Thanks :D

Should make a tttesque wiki page under Convars / Commands, and have "Useful TTT Lua" lol.

Doesnt work.

Placed in the same place i put ENT.CanPickup = true

Look at PROPSPEC.Target in propspec.lua. See if your entity isn't passing one of the checks. The entity also has to be a collision group that is hit by use key trace (ie. not non-solid).

Yeah. Fixed it... Had to edit;

local function IsWhitelistedClass(cls)
   return (string.match(cls, "prop_physics*") or
           string.match(cls, "func_physbox*") or
           string.match(cls, "ttt_kfc") or 
           string.match(cls, "ttt_evil_kfc") or 
           string.match(cls, "ttt_chicken") or 
           string.match(cls, "sent_egg"))
end

Wasn't passing the whitelist check till i edited that.

Look at where that function is called:

   if (not ent.AllowPropspec) and (not IsWhitelistedClass(ent:GetClass())) then return end

If you set ENT.AllowPropspec = true, the whole whitelist is irrelevant.

Of course, Lua is case sensitive, and my earlier post had it as PropSpec instead of Propspec. Probably why it didn't work for you before.

I can imagine a bunch of KFC boxes surrounding someone. lol

Well, gameplay on your server is going to be interesting to say the least.

Agh; well, now we find out ;)

I've had someone propkill me with a KFC bucket already Fffffffuuuuuuuu.
Serves me right for running around with 1hp xD

As if the chickens weren't enough, lol...

Chickens turn into KFC on death, a little reward for that, since chickens arent so easy to kill when they are pissed off - restores 20hp, traitors have an 'evil bucket' which explodes on ingestion, can cause heartburn, be warned.

Chickens now have a sort of anger issue, like the gmod.org ones, lol. They get angrier and redder the more they are damaged, they cool down if they are left alone. They go out with a bang at 200 anger.
