Hey, I was just wondering... Since GetEntityFlag work with alive players, does it work for dead objects like ragdolls, death models, and other stuff related to corpses?

For example, if a corpse is in the water, does the statement below return true?

PHP Code:

if (GetEntityFlag(corpse) & FL_INWATER) 


Edit: Solved!

For most entities that would probably work.

However player ragdolls are not done on the server side in most games. The server creates the ragdoll, dispatches it to the client, and the client handles any animations/placement for it. I believe that the server deletes the ragdoll immediately afterwards, but I can't say that for certain and the Valve Developer wiki is currently down.

Oh, that explains why there's a sudden large amount of network traffic when they are spawned. I hope I can find the cvars that handles them.

Btw, just quick tested this, the statement returns true which means GetEntityFlag gets the current state of an entity, no matter what kind it is as long as it is valid and whether said entity is falling from a high place or submerged deep into the water.
