SetParent causes child entity to rotate with parent

Garry's Mod coding
#1

I would like it to only move, but not rotate:


function GM:PlayerInitialSpawn(ply)
	local thePlayersBall = ents.Create("prop_dynamic");
	if(!IsValid(thePlayersBall)) then return end
	thePlayersBall:SetModel("seeeecreeeeeeet.mdl");
	thePlayersBall:SetPos(ply:GetPos() + Vector(0, 0, 32));
	thePlayersBall:SetParent(ply);
	thePlayersBall:Spawn();
	thePlayersBall:PhysicsInit(SOLID_NONE);
end

That’s the point of setting parent, don’t create a prop dynamic, just use ClientSideModel and draw it inside on PostPlayerDraw by getting it bones and stuff

#3

Are clientside models seen by everyone, though, or just on the client you initialize it on?

#4

Just the client.

ents.CreateClientProp is a client side function.

#5

So I have to synchronize everyone’s models manually?

#6

Yup, broadcast it when a change happens and send it to players when they initial spawn

#7

By change, do you mean player joins and disconnects, etc?

#8

No, like if you’re working with cosmetics, everytime you equip or unequip something, you have to broadcast this change to everyone in server, otherwise they will keep seing old items

Alright
