Set custom entity to be pick-upable

[Ziks]

I have a simple custom entity that I want the player to be able to pickup when pressing use. However, it looks like the model I am using has too much mass. This is what I've tried so far:

[lua]if SERVER then AddCSLuaFile("shared.lua") end

ENT.Type = "anim"
ENT.Base = "base_anim"

if SERVER then
function ENT:Initialize()
self:SetModel("models/props_c17/consolebox01a.mdl")
self:PhysicsInit(SOLID_VPHYSICS)
self:SetMoveType(MOVETYPE_VPHYSICS)
self:SetSolid(SOLID_VPHYSICS)

local phys = self:GetPhysicsObject()
if IsValid(phys) then
phys:AddGameFlag(4) -- PLAYER_HELD
phys:ClearGameFlag(32) -- HEAVY_OBJECT
phys:ClearGameFlag(128) -- NO_PLAYER_PICKUP
phys:SetMass(5)
phys:Wake()
end
end

-- ...
end

-- ...[/lua]

I tried setting / clearing some flags that looked relevant, but it still isn't working.

I tried simply using the gravity gun instead, but it is also unable to pick up the entity.

If that doesn't work you may need to do the TTT approach where it welds another entity to it with a ShadowMove and hook it on the use button gm hook

You might be able to use the PlayerUse hook and call player:PickupObject(ent)

The GameFlag 'player_held' might also be interfering since that's meant for the engine to do stuff to entities that are currently being held.
