box death spawn code thing help me please

[overnightfuture]

i need a code to make a crate spawn out of someone when they die so how would i do that

[Salt]

sounds more like a request, but none the less;
[lua]
function Death(ply)

box = ents.Create("prop_physics") -- showing it's a physics prop
box:SetModel("models/props_junk/wood_crate001a_damaged.mdl") -- Setting the model
if ply:Alive(false) and ply:IsPlayer() then do -- if the player (ply) isn't alive and ply is a player then
box:SetPos(ply:GetPos()) -- set the position to where the player died
box:Spawn() -- spawn the box
end
end
end

hook.Add( "PlayerDeath", "box", Death )
[/lua]

Don't you mean if not ply:Alive()? I don't think that function takes any arguments.

That's what I was thinking :)

[overnightfuture]

ok now im getting confused

[sintwins]

instead of doing
[lua]
ply:Alive(false)
[/lua]
you would do
[lua] if not ply:IsAlive() [/lua]

[Salt]

it returns a boolean, so I made it check the boolean

[overnightfuture]

im useing fretta and was thinking of doing the command
CLASS:ondeath
gm_spawn ( "models/props_junk/wood_crate002a.mdl" )

or would that not work

[Salt]

well what exactly are you trying to do

[overnightfuture]

im makeing a gamemode for the gamemode contest ( i know im going to do bad but no one else joined it besides lonewolf) and the theam is recycling and i want it so that when you die you drop a crate so someone can use it to make a base (recycle the enemy.)
