A workaround for weapons created by maps not taking into account spawnflags.

function SWEP:AcceptInput( name, activator, caller, data ) -- Check for input and spawnflag if ( name == "ConstraintBroken" && self:HasSpawnFlags( 1 ) ) then -- Freeze the weapon local phys = self:GetPhysicsObject() if ( IsValid( phys ) ) then phys:EnableMotion( false ) end -- Remove the spawnflag so it doesn't freeze the weapon when it is dropped local newflags = bit.band( self:GetSpawnFlags(), bit.bnot( 1 ) ) self:SetKeyValue( "spawnflags", newflags ) end end
