How to make ents frozen on spawn?

[BlackSnow]

So i am making a tree entity that once damaged with the right weapon will produce wood, however, i am making that it will spawn on certain cords. The problem is that once spawned, it will spawn, ermmm, not frozen. Once spawned, the tree falls over, or goes straight into the map, and bugs out with the collision.

Is there a way to freeze entities when they are spawned in by the player or a script?

I'd suggest not using physics entities for this and instead use prop_dynamic ( or its SENT alternative, MOVETYPE_NONE )

make it to take no damage first if you want

/*---------------------------------------------------------
   Name: OnTakeDamage
---------------------------------------------------------*/
function ENT:OnTakeDamage(dmginfo)
end

and heres a normal setup for custom entities

/*---------------------------------------------------------
   Name: Initialize
---------------------------------------------------------*/
function ENT:Initialize()
 
        local model = ("models/Items/item_item_crate.mdl")
       
        self.Entity:SetModel(model)
       
        self.Entity:PhysicsInit(SOLID_VPHYSICS) -- THATS WHAT YOU NEED TO MAKE IT FROZEN
        self.Entity:SetMoveType(MOVETYPE_VPHYSICS) -- THATS WHAT YOU NEED TO MAKE IT FROZEN
        self.Entity:SetSolid(SOLID_VPHYSICS) -- THATS WHAT YOU NEED TO MAKE IT FROZEN
        self.Entity:DrawShadow(false)
       
        self.Entity:SetCollisionGroup(20)
       
        local phys = self.Entity:GetPhysicsObject()
       
        if (phys:IsValid()) then
                phys:Wake()
                phys:SetMass(40) -SET MASS ON IT(you dont have to)
        end
 
        self.Entity:SetUseType(SIMPLE_USE)
       
end
