Question about firing a entity and having it stick in what ever it hits?

[TheJenssons]

how would one make their custom entity that they fire from a gun stick to what ever it hits like say a wall or a player, etc

In the entity's Touch method, store the local position it is at on the object and maintain it in a Think hook.

Why not use Entity:SetParent(target)

You can do that too; the entity loses it's own physics, though.

It's more difficult for players. I once made a mod for placing proximity mines or c4 on people - it would stay exactly where you placed it. Back then I couldn't get the relative angle to the parent bone to orient properly, but I believe it can be done with some of the world to local functions too.

Sticking to an entity is super easy. Thanks to welding.
