Allowing entities to be 'used'.

Garry's Mod coding
#1

I am trying to make various physics props have a menu appear on them when ‘use’ is pressed while looking at them. To this end, I have run ‘entity:SetUseType(SIMPLE_USE)’ on all of them.
However, only some of them are usable, and they were usable before.
For instance, this prop always shows up in GM:PlayerUse()

(models/props_c17/FurnitureDrawer001a.mdl)
while this one doesn’t.

(models/props_c17/FurnitureFridge001a.mdl)
How do I make it so all the physics props I have chosen show up in GM:PlayerUse when ‘use’ is pressed on them?

Um… you can just simply check their model/whatever in PlayerUse. It gets called on all entities. If for some reason it doesn’t, you can use KeyPressed.

#3

In fact, it doesn’t.
For some entities it’s not called at all, for some entities (like prop_physics) it depends on what model they are and for others it is always called. I am using KeyPress for now, but I wanted to use PlayerUse because that’s the hook you’re supposed to use, which is why I posted this.

#4

Don’t set the use type and do this:

if act:KeyDownLast(IN_USE) then return end

That will stop it from calling more than once.
