Description

Adds onto the current SpawnFlags of an Entity.

SpawnFlags can easily be found on https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/.

See also Entity:RemoveSpawnFlags, Entity:SetSpawnFlags

Using SF Enumerations won't work, if this function is ran clientside due to the enumerations being defined only Serverside. Use the actual SpawnFlag number.

Arguments

1 number flag
The SpawnFlag to add to the Entity

Example

When a turret Entity is created, it adds the Out of Ammo SpawnFlag, therefore it doesn't have ammo.

hook.Add( "OnEntityCreated", "AddSpawnFlagsExample", function( ent ) timer.Simple( 0.1, function() if ( !IsValid(ent) or ent:GetClass() != "npc_turret_floor" ) then return end ent:AddSpawnFlags(256) -- https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Npc_turret_floor#Flags end ) end )

Example

When a turret Entity is created, it adds the Out of Ammo and Fast Retire SpawnFlag, therefore it doesn't have ammo and it goes into idle state faster.

hook.Add( "OnEntityCreated", "AddSpawnFlagsExample", function( ent ) timer.Simple( 0.1, function() if ( !IsValid(ent) or ent:GetClass() != "npc_turret_floor" ) then return end ent:AddSpawnFlags( bit.bor( ent:GetSpawnFlags(), 256, 128 ) ) -- https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Npc_turret_floor#Flags end ) end )
