I did this. I tried pl_goldrush, pl_badwater and pl_dustbowl_b4

I did use the grabber from every possible angle. The cart NEVER moved an inch and I ALWAYS heard the denied sound and NEVER heard the picked up sound.

Oh yes, I definitely think you're on crack or something

Again this also proves my point. The code examines the netclass and will only pickup objects that start with "obj_" (or "prop_" unless sm_grabber_props is set to 0).

According to stripper, the classname of the cart is "mapobj_cart_dispenser". When I used env_text, it indicated the class name as "func_tracktrain". Neither one of these starts with "obj_", although "mapobj_" is close, it is NOT "obj_".

I do have another version that is more strict on the types it will pickup and track, but it is not quite ready for release yet. I will also do some more investigation to determine what exacty the netclass is for a cart...

OK then take a look at this demo file

You can see I was a douchebag and at the start of the game sticky jumped over to the cart on pl_badwater as a red demo. Picked it little bomb cart up with the Grabber and then put it back down. Chaos ensues. I get my ass handed to me for a min before they figure out my greasy ways.

Oh, OK. I found the issue. Apparently there id also a prop_physics on the func_tracktrain and the grabber is grabbing that.

The version that I have been using dosen't allow prop_ objects to be picked up (because health cabinets are prop_dynamic). Apparently, picking up prop_ object in TF2 is a bad idea

I have updated my original post with the newest version of the grabber plugin in. Make sure to disable grabbing prop objects

Appears to be working so far. I will try some more and see if there is anything left. We did have the cart fall off the tracks and land on its side the other day while playing badwater. I am not sure if this was related to a gravity change or the plugin. I will get more info and let you know regardless.

I just installed this plugin for my TF2 server on a windows machine. I was wondering if there was a way to make the SG shoot while you were moving it? If there is and sm command that i might have missed or is this not an option with this mod?

Set sm_grabber_grabsetdisabled to 0

I also added a native interface so this can be called from other plugins. THe native interface can also be used give a "gravgun" to specific players. zgrabber.inc defines this interface for the other plugins.

I absolutely love this, naris. I added it to my TF2 server and it works great.

I just have one question: Can admins only use it? Or is it public? (I havent seen clients use it yet.. only admins so far)

And if you have made it for clients, can you add a command or something so you can either have clients only, admins only, or both? (I don't like the idea of clients using those kinds of commands)

This is a bit of a general plugin question. If I load this up on-the-fly, is there any way to control the default settings of the cvars? I tried sticking the cvars in plugin.zgrabber.cfg, but it didn't work.

Edit: Nevermind, I see that the cvars stay set even if you load and unload and reload the plugin, so I can do it in the server.cfg
