Parent ENT has no Collision

[Aden]

I'm trying to attach a Enitityto another Enitity,
but the attached Enitity has no Collision...

function ENT:Touch( ent )
    if ( ent:IsPlayer() ) then return end
    if ( ent:GetClass() == "monitor" && !self:GetConnected() ) then 
        local ent2 = ents.Create("monitor")
        ent2:SetParent(self,1)

        self:SetConnected(true)
        ent2:SetConnected(true)

        ent2:SetMoveType( MOVETYPE_VPHYSICS )
        ent2:SetPos( self:LocalToWorld(ent2:GetPos() + Vector(0,25,0)) )
        ent2:SetAngles( self:GetAngles() )
        ent2:Spawn()

        ent:Remove()
    end
end

What does SetConnected do? Also, you seem to be spawning a new monitor when you may just be able to use the old one

I have 2 Entities,
monitor and computer

SetConnected & GetConnected checks if theres already a Monitor connected to the Computer...
My problem is, the attached Entity clipps through the ground and the Base Entity not.

New Code that I made...

init.lua - monitor Enitity

function ENT:Touch( ent )
    if ( ent:IsPlayer() ) then return end
    if ( ent:GetClass() == "computer" && !self:GetConnected() && !ent:GetConnected() ) then 
        self:SetConnected(true)
        ent:SetConnected(true)

        local pos, ang = LocalToWorld( Vector(0,25,0), Angle(0,0,0), ent:GetPos(), ent:GetAngles() )
        self:SetPos( pos )
        self:SetParent( ent, -1 )
        self:SetAngles( ang )
        self:SetMoveType( MOVETYPE_VPHYSICS )
    end
end

ent:GetPhysicsObject():EnableCollisions( true )

try this, I really don't know how this works as I never used this before but I hope it will work?

Going to try it

Thanks! Works!

function ENT:StartTouch( ent )
    if ( ent:IsPlayer() ) then return end
    if ( ent:GetClass() == "computer" && !self:GetConnected() && !ent:GetConnected() ) then 
        self:SetConnected(true)
        ent:SetConnected(true)

        local pos, ang = LocalToWorld( Vector(0,25,0), Angle(0,0,0), ent:GetPos(), ent:GetAngles() )
        self:SetPos( pos )
        self:SetParent( ent )
        self:SetAngles( ang )
        self:GetPhysicsObject():EnableCollisions( true )
    end
end
