Making a prop follow you

[SammySung]

Hey is a it possible to create a scripted entitie that is a prop and it just follows you around?

If anyone can help me that would be great!

I believe you would use something along the lines of.

local proppos = LocalPlayer():GetPos() - Vector( 20, 20, 0)

entity:SetPos(proppos)

(Off the top of my head probably wrong but it's worth a try :D )

Mhm doesn't really help me :P

[noforgivin]

well that would make it follow you...

If you dont know how to spawn a prop entiity go look on the wiki.

Look at how he did it.

        end
end

How would I turn it into a prop that is on the ground?

This should be in requests as you clearly dont want to do it your self, but if you do then read some lua tutorials first.
