I've been reworking a lot of the ships for pirate ship wars in hopes of cutting down the performance impact. The ships right now use func_physbox but I think that since the player isn't going to be walking on do not need to be regular physbox. I was going to change them to func_physbox_multiplayer but the listing shows up inconstantly. I clicked the first piece and it showed in the list of entity types but when I selected the second piece it was not there. Hammer crashed and when I went to do it again multiplayer didn't show up in the list for any of the pieces.
It doesn't auto complete and if I just change it to a func_physbox_multiplayer it acts like it is an unknown entity type.

These are the pieces I'm trying to change, they are selected that way so you can tell there are 6 of them.
The question is how can I get func_physbox_multiplayer to show up in the list properly?
func_physbox_multiplayer won't make any difference. In-fact, I've never even heard of it, it's probably obsolete.
It is for less accurate physics. Should mean a little less bandwidth usage. By how much I really don't know.

It does exist. It uses a different method of predicting physics calculations, but I don't think you will experience much difference either way.
For a gamemode as demanding as demanding as pirateshipwars I think it's worth exploring every possibility. I'm still hoping for more than 2 ships some day.
I know it exists, I just need to know how to make it appear.
func_physbox_multieplayer - What? :v:
I explained what it is. Anybody know how to make it show up consistently in the list? Is it just glitched and I need to be patient and click until something works or did I just get lucky the time it did work?
func_physbox_multiplayer is like func_train, not in the FGD by default, which is why it doesn't show in hammer. You need to add a definition to the FGD for the entity for it to show up in the list.
Now it makes sense, thanks Gig.
