Hello there,

just out of curiosity, is it possible to change the type of an entity?

I know that I could simply read the pos and ang then delete the prop_dynamic and spawn a new one as prop_physics at the same locations and angle.

But is it possible to change the original entity to become prop_physics?

Example, when you have pills lying around on the map, they are normally "fixed" and cant be shot.

When you manually spawn them by

int ent=CreateEntityByName("weapon_pain_pills");

They are "shootable".

Is there any way to change that on the fly?!

From my experience 10-12 years ago making maps: Yes its possible, but there is a high chance to cause serious bugs or even server crashes.
So I would you recomend to just get entity position, spawn a new one with the entity type you want in that position with the properties you want and destroy the old one.

Just a safer way to spawn a "weapon_pain_pills" and destroy the "weapon_pain_pills_spawn".
