Description

Creates a clientside only prop with optional physics. See also ClientsideModel if physics is not needed.

For physics to work you're expected to use the model argument. A simple Entity:SetModel will not be enough — the Entity:PhysicsInit* function will be needed.

Parented clientside prop will become detached if the parent entity leaves the PVS. A workaround is available on its github page.

Arguments

1 string model = "models/error.mdl"
The model for the entity to be created.

Returns

1 Entity
Created entity (C_PhysPropClientside).

Example

Creates a clientside prop at the player location.

function GhostBarrel( ply ) local c_Model = ents.CreateClientProp() c_Model:SetPos( ply:GetPos() ) c_Model:SetModel( "models/props_borealis/bluebarrel001.mdl" ) c_Model:SetParent( ply ) c_Model:Spawn() end

Example

Creates a clientside prop with physics.

concommand.Add( "testent", function( ply ) local plyTr = ply:GetEyeTrace() local csEnt = ents.CreateClientProp( "models/props_combine/combine_light001b.mdl" ) csEnt:SetPos( plyTr.HitPos + plyTr.HitNormal * 24 ) csEnt:Spawn() end )

Example

The same as previous, but physics is initialized manually.

concommand.Add( "testent", function( ply ) local plyTr = ply:GetEyeTrace() local csEnt = ents.CreateClientProp() csEnt:SetPos( plyTr.HitPos + plyTr.HitNormal * 24 ) csEnt:SetModel( "models/props_combine/combine_light001b.mdl" ) csEnt:PhysicsInit( SOLID_VPHYSICS ) csEnt:Spawn() csEnt:PhysWake() end )
