Advanced Dup Ghost Props (props that cannot be selected or removed)

[nelandquinten]

Hey guys, I'm having an issue and I was hoping for some advice.

I have used the Adv Dup to move some props around a scene I am making. However, once I save, sometimes those props cannot be physgunned, clicked, or altered in anyway. You can pass through them, but they are stuck that way. They are quite a nusiance.

Has anyone heard of this issue, or has this happened to you? Is there a way to delete ghost props? I have uninstalled and reinstalled Adv Dup and Wiremod to no avail.

Thanks so much, guys!

Try entering this into your console:

lua_run for id, ent in pairs(ents.FindByClass("prop_p*")) do if (ent:GetSolid() != 6) then print(ent:GetSolid(),ent) end end

Something like that should appear:

If the number of lines that appear match the amount of ghost props, then run this:

lua_run for id, ent in pairs(ents.FindByClass("prop_p*")) do if (ent:GetSolid() != 6) then ent:SetSolid(6) end end

To make the props intractable, or this:

lua_run for id, ent in pairs(ents.FindByClass("prop_p*")) do if (ent:GetSolid() != 6) then ent:Remove() end end

To remove them.

This is assuming your props are actual prop physics. If this doesn't work, try replacing [b]"prop_p*"[/b] in the code with [b]"prop_*"[/b] ( ents.FindByClass("prop_p*") to ents.FindByClass("prop_*") )

It didn't work RB, but I appreciate you helping me out.

When I ran the first command, the "for id, ent in pairs" command showed up but not the "0 Entity [##][prop_physics]

I changed the "Prop_p*" value and restarted but to no avail.

The props I am trying to delete are two construction plates and a table.

Command lines simply say "] lua_run for id, ent in pairs(ents.FindByClass("prop_p*")) do if (ent:GetSolid() != 6) then print(ent:GetSolid(),ent) end end
> for id, ent in pairs(ents.FindByClass("prop_p*")) do if (ent:GetSolid() != 6) then print(ent:GetSolid(),ent) end end..."

Thanks again, RB!

lua_run for id, ent in pairs(ents.GetAll()) do if (ent:GetModel() != "models/my/model/here.mdl") then print(ent:GetSolid(),ent) end end

Try this. replace the model path with your model you want to delete. ( Right click on spawnicon of the model and press "Copy to clipboard" )
