Help with setting an entities weight in script (not using the weight tool in game)

[TypeCode713]

Alright so simple enough I would think, I want to change the weight of a spawned entity. My problem however doesn't seem as easy as ENT:SetWeight and after sometime trying to search the net, I've had no luck. I would probably have better luck if the search for FacePunch wasn't for mods only every time I thought maybe I can use it.

Anyone wanna give me a quick example so I can get this fixed?

Mass is the correct term for it when dealing with physics.

Ty, sir, very appreciated.

Thanks for the tip, but this doesn't seem to work. What am I doing wrong? It may have something to do with self.Entity:GetPhysicsObject instead of self:GetPhysicsObject(), since that's the only thing different from the wiki page.

[lua]
function ENT:Initialize()
self.On = false
self.Entity:SetModel("models/car/1.mdl")
self.Entity:PhysicsInit(SOLID_VPHYSICS)
self.Entity:SetMoveType(MOVETYPE_VPHYSICS)
self.Entity:SetSolid(SOLID_VPHYSICS)

local phys = self.Entity:GetPhysicsObject()

if (phys:IsValid()) then

phys:Wake()

end
phys:SetMass( 2000 )
end
[/lua]

change your 'local phys = self.Entity:GetPhysicsObject()' to 'local phys = self:GetPhysicsObject()'
That's whats working for me.

I believe its due to the 'self' already realizing itself as an entity (could be wrong, just my theory)

For a start self.Entity is deprecated, just use self instead.

You should also set the mass inside your IsValid function, one last thing which state are you running this code in? (Client/Server?)
