Hello, some of you might know HL2DM RP plugin. (It requires source mod to work)

I have a small problem with it and I can't seem to solve myself. This problem is about money freezing on the air, instead of dropping on the ground when a player dies. When I tested killing myself when I had a a large amount of cash with me, it didn't drop on the ground.

RP script is supposed to drop my money on the ground when I die, well it didn't. Money just floats and is frozen on the air. (It was supposed to drop gold bar props on the ground and some coins.) I remember when I last time played someone else's server, it dropped on the ground.

I was playing in LAN server, if this helps at all.
If anyone knows how to solve this, I would appreciate your help.

Try:

ActivateEntity(ent);

Where ent is the model of the money.


If that doesn't work, you might be spawning it as the wrong entity type. It should be spawned as either prop_physics_multiplayer or prop_physics_override so if you're spawning it as a prop_physics then switch it to one of those two.

I did what you suggested, I put "ActivateEntity(Ent)" thing in to code, but nothing is still happening, it still freezes on the air. Is there something wrong that I should fix? Here is the code related to it + picture:

//Initialize:
        new Ent = rp_createent("prop_physics_override");
        if(Amount > 1000) //goldbar
        {
            DroppedMoneyValue[Ent] = 1000;
            rp_dispatchkeyvalue(Ent, "model", "models/money/goldbar.mdl");
            Amount -= 1000;
            ActivateEntity(models/money/goldbar.mdl);
        }
        else if(Amount > 200) //note
        {
            DroppedMoneyValue[Ent] = 200;
            rp_dispatchkeyvalue(Ent, "model", "models/money/note2.mdl");
            Amount -= 200;
            ActivateEntity(models/money/note2.mdl);
        }
        else if(Amount > 100) //note
        {
            DroppedMoneyValue[Ent] = 100;
            rp_dispatchkeyvalue(Ent, "model", "models/money/note.mdl");
            Amount -= 100;
            ActivateEntity(models/money/note.mdl);
        }
        else if(Amount > 50) //note 3
        {
            DroppedMoneyValue[Ent] = 50;
            rp_dispatchkeyvalue(Ent, "model", "models/money/note3.mdl");
            Amount -= 50;
            ActivateEntity(models/money/note3.mdl);
        }
        else if(Amount > 20) //golcoin
        {
            DroppedMoneyValue[Ent] = 20;
            rp_dispatchkeyvalue(Ent, "model", "models/money/goldcoin.mdl");
            Amount -= 20;
            ActivateEntity(models/money/goldcoin.mdl);
        }
        else if(Amount > 10) //silvcoin
        {
            DroppedMoneyValue[Ent] = 10;
            rp_dispatchkeyvalue(Ent, "model", "models/money/goldcoin.mdl");
            Amount -= 10;
            ActivateEntity(models/money/goldcoin.mdl);
        }
        else if(Amount > 5) //silvcoin
        {
            DroppedMoneyValue[Ent] = 5;
            rp_dispatchkeyvalue(Ent, "model", "models/money/silvcoin.mdl");
            Amount -= 5;
            ActivateEntity(models/money/silvcoin.mdl);
        }
        
        else if(Amount > 2) //silvcoin
        {
            DroppedMoneyValue[Ent] = 2;
            rp_dispatchkeyvalue(Ent, "model", "models/money/silvcoin.mdl");
            Amount -= 2;
            ActivateEntity(models/money/silvcoin.mdl);
        }
        else //broncoin
        {
            DroppedMoneyValue[Ent] = 1;
            rp_dispatchkeyvalue(Ent, "model", "models/money/broncoin.mdl");
            Amount -= 1;
            ActivateEntity(models/money/broncoin.mdl);
        }
        
        
        //Spawn:
        rp_dispatchspawn(Ent);
        
        //Angles:
        Angles[1] = GetRandomFloat(0.0, 360.0);
        Position[0] = OrgPos[0] + GetRandomFloat(-50.0, 50.0);
        Position[1] = OrgPos[1] + GetRandomFloat(-50.0, 50.0);
        
        
        //Debris:
        Collision = GetEntSendPropOffs(Ent, "m_CollisionGroup");
        if(IsValidEntity(Ent)) SetEntData(Ent, Collision, 1, 1, true);
        
        //Send:
        rp_teleportent(Ent, Position, Angles, NULL_VECTOR);
    }
    return true;
}

ActivateEntity(Ent);
as is
also do it after you spawn it (rp_dispatchspawn(Ent))

[grypho]

Still doesn't work. :/

Manualy claculated the position of your leg.

Position[1] -= 100.0; // or where ever your leg located.

Other stuff.. Try "SetEntityMoveType()". Apply the gravity to the money.

I think it would be better to trace to the ground ,since if you jump it will be still floating.

I tried that aswell but didn't work, HOWEVER! I found out that this came to my server's console when money was about to freeze.

Interesting,
Try precaching every model for ex:

PHP Code:

PrecacheModel("models/money/broncoin.mdl",true); 


put it in the OnMapStart block
and get rid of the code that you added

I think that still give console error because of the model.

How i fix mine is OnMapStart (after you precache the model) create a timer 2 or 3 sec. In your timer create prop_physic or prop_dynamic, then change the model to your money, dispatch it, then "kill" (or remove edict). The next time your spawn the money you wont get the error nor the freeze about 0.1 sec or something.

EDIT:

PHP Code:

stock PrecacheObject( const String:ModelNameHere[] )
{
    new prop;
    prop = CreateEntityByName( "prop_physic" );
    if ( prop != -1 )
    {
        DispatchKeyValue( prop, "model", ModelNameHere );
        DispatchSpawn( prop );
        AcceptEntityInput( prop, "kill" );
    }
}
