How to make cars collide with players

[snugglepants]

Hey, I have a DarkRP server and It's pretty successful, I've gotten to the stage where everyone is begging for TDMCars, however I'll have a problem with CarDM a lot seeing as there'll be 50-70 players on the server.

I was wondering if there was a way to make cars collide with players but not other props and if so how? Thanks.

Try this, I've never worked with this hook and this is untested so use at your own risk :P

hook.Add("ShouldCollide", "Collisions", function(ent, ent2)
	if ent:IsPlayer() and ent2:IsVehicle() or ent2:IsPlayer():InVehicle() then
		return true
	elseif !ent:IsPlayer() and ent:GetClass() == "prop_physics" and ent2:IsVehicle() or ent2:IsPlayer():InVehicle() then
		return false
	else
		return true
	end
end)

It would be better to make it so that players do not take damage from the collisions instead of doing a billion custom collision checks.
Something like this:

hook.Add("PlayerShouldTakeDamage", "PreventCarDM", function(ply, ent)
	if ent:GetClass() == "my_car_class" or ent:IsVehicle() then return false end
	return true
end)

Oh and for CustomCollision hooks to even work you have to enable them on the entity first with Entity:EnableCustomCollisions(true/false)

Thanks for the replies but... heh where do I add that?
