Creating Static Props ( prop_physics vs prop_static )

[Shocks]

I'm using a for Loop to create a set of props

			for i = 1, #prop6 do
				local prop_6 = ents.Create("prop_static")
				prop_6:SetModel(prop6[i].prop)
				prop_6:SetName("TankProps1") 
				prop_6:SetPos(prop6[i].position)
				prop_6:SetAngles(prop6[i].angles)
				prop_6:Spawn()
			end

The problem is, when i use prop_static, the props don't appear, if i use prop_physics they fall over and i have tried using SetMoveType and EnableMotion( false ) and it doesn't work.
the idea is to create frozen props on the map that cannot be moved and will stay frozen in place. can anyone help.

thanks in advanced

prop_static is only for use with hammer

use prop_dynamic_override

[QUOTE]woops i set it to props_dynamic. adding dynamic now.
ah thanks, what would i use to make them collide with players and other entities?[/QUOTE]

I want the props to be physical but not move.

[Giraffen93]

they should be colliding by default

but using enablemotion should work on physics props anyway, as long as you do it on the physics object

Ok i got it working with prop_6:GetPhysicsObject():EnableMotion(false)
is there a way to disable physgun on the prop?

[Mechanical Mind]

Create a prop physics
Do either

local phys = prop_6:GetPhysicsObject()
if IsValid(phys) then phys:EnableMotion(false) end

or

prop_6:SetMoveType(MOVETYPE_NONE)

after :Spawn()
