Disable +use

[LemonYourAid]

Hi guys, I'm trying to disable the use of +use to keep people from picking up objects, but I still want them to be able to use "E" for something I have already scripted. Help if you can thanks :)

(Shit wrong board. My mistake :| )

You can disable use on an Entity by just removing ENT:Use or maybe replacing it with

function ENT:Use ( activator, caller )
end

in the entity.

You can remove it from your gamemode entirely with this I think:

hook.Add("PlayerBindPress", "cantUse", function(ply, bind)
     if (string.find(bind, "+use")) then
		local trace = ply:GetEyeTrace()
		if IsValid(trace.Entity) and trace.Entity:IsPlayer() then
			return true
		else
			return false
		end
     end
end)

You would obviously replace trace.Entity:IsPlayer() with your entity (or entities) but this allows you to press Use only on a Player, for example.

I'm a novice at LUA though so I may have done something wrong, as I didn't even check the syntax.

This is obviously better than what I said, but you're still going to have to check what they're trying to pick up and decide if it's the entity you want to be getting used though.

He's asking to disallow picking up objects- that's what that does. It allows to "use" objects, but not to pick them up.

Or you could use the command garry added in when he pushed this feature.
