I need to change the flags on a player's sentry gun so that it cannot be upgraded. I've found the function to set and get entity flags, and I've figured out how to get the index of the sentry gun, but I don't understand how to use the SetEntityFlags function. Here's the Sourcemod API page for the function: https://sm.alliedmods.net/new-api/en...SetEntityFlags

Here's the entity page for the sentry: https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Obj_sentrygun

I want to either remove or disable the "upgradable" flag. What do I enter for the second argument on the "SetEntityFlags(entity, flags)" function to make this happen?

my guess:

PHP Code:

SetEntityFlags(entity,GetEntityFlags(entity) & ~(1<<2)); // 4 - upgradable

That's likely a spawn flag, not an "entity flag". You would use similar to the above logic, but with SetEntProp and the "m_spawnflags" variable. However, changes to it may not do anything after the entity has already been spawned. (Just looked and it seems like it will work in this case)

Thanks, I'll try this tonight.

So here are the arguments I'm using. Is this correct?

SetEntProp(ent, bool, "m_spawnflags_upgradable", false, 4, 0);

I should probably mention that ent is the name of an int I'm using to store the index of the sentry.

no. read the API info https://sm.alliedmods.net/new-api/entity/SetEntProp

SetEntProp(ent, Prop_Data, "m_spawnflags_upgradable", 0)

I was just looking back through my posts and I realized I forgot to thank you for posting this. Unfortunately it's not working for some reason. The buildings can still be upgraded. Is there any reason I should be using SetEntProp instead of SetEntityFlags?

[Chdata]

SetEntProp can affect any netprop.

SetEntityFlags only affects whatever stores the entity's flags, not its spawnflags. Spawnflags are different than entity flags.

dunno why I wrote that, you probably want SetEntProp(ent, Prop_Data, "m_spawnflags", 0) instead
