In garrys mod after a weapon has be spawned, if you walk close to it, you pick it up, or gain ammo if you're already holding the weapon.
How would I work around this from happening?
I want the player to have to press E to pick it up instead of walking over it.
I haven't tested this but you could try to use [img]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/favicon.ico[/img] [url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/GM/PlayerCanPickupWeapon]GM:PlayerCanPickupWeapon[/url] and [img]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/favicon.ico[/img] [url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Player/KeyPressed]Player:KeyPressed[/url]. If you don't have the use key down then just return false.

Ah duh, why didn't I think of this. Thank you.

Tested this, it works in some sense, but when spawning in, it won't give the loadout weapons. I can't give myself weapons directly from the Q menu. Any alternatives?
Maybe check if the weapon has a physics object? I think weapons only have physics objects when they're spawned as a prop (such as they are when they're on the ground) - I might be wrong though

I'm sorry but how would you do that?
[CODE]
if IsValid( someweapon:GetPhysicsObject() ) then
[/CODE]

So pretty much
[CODE]
hook.Add( 'PlayerCanPickupWeapon', 'test', function( ply, wep )
if IsValid( wep:GetPhysicsObject() ) and ( !ply:KeyPressed( IN_USE ) ) then return false end
end )
[/CODE]

Actually, I just tested that and some weapons in the spawnmenu have physics objects so this doesn't work :(

For future reference, GetPhysicsObject will always return an entity or NULL PHYSICS OBJECT, so you can use the metamethod and not the global.

In OnEntityCreated, you could set a variable on a weapon that would allow them to pick it up one second after spawning, then in a timer, set the variable to false. That means weapons spawned from the spawn menu can be picked up since they are avaliable immidiately.
