Hello, I'm trying to create an entity that follows a player, I've tried multiple threads for using the "SetParent", but none of the entities are "following" the player, and neither is it being teleported to the Players correct cords. The entity must also trigger "trigger_multiple" too, the flags on the "trigger_multiple" is "1088".

I've tried 0.1 timers between using SetParent and SetParentAttachment etc.

The 1.0 Timer includes me moving in-game too.

PHP Code:

void EntityPlayer(int iClient) {
    float fPos[3];
    GetClientAbsOrigin(iClient, fPos);
    PrintToChatAll("CReating: %i, %f, %f, %f", iClient, fPos[0], fPos[1], fPos[2]);
    int iEntity = CreateEntityByName("trigger_multiple");
    if (iEntity > 0 && IsValidEntity(iEntity)) {
        char[] cBuffer = new char[512];
        SetEntityModel(iEntity, "models/error.mdl");

        Format(cBuffer, 512, "cclient%i", iClient);
        DispatchKeyValue(iClient, "targetname", cBuffer);

        SetVariantString("!activator");
        AcceptEntityInput(iEntity, "SetParent", iClient);  
        SetEntityMoveType(iEntity, MOVETYPE_NOCLIP);

        if (DispatchSpawn(iEntity)) {
            PrintToChatAll("Spawned %i", iEntity);

            DataPack pack = new DataPack();
            pack.WriteCell(iEntity);
            pack.WriteCell(iClient);
            CreateTimer(0.1, Timer_Assign, pack);

            CreateTimer(1.0, Timer_Entity, iEntity, TIMER_REPEAT);
        }
    }
}

public Action Timer_Assign(Handle hTimer, DataPack pack) {
    PrintToChatAll("Running");
    pack.Reset();
    int iEntity = pack.ReadCell();
    int iClient = pack.ReadCell();

    PrintToChatAll("%i, %i", iEntity, iClient);
    //AcceptEntityInput(iEntity, "SetParentAttachment", iClient, iEntity);
}

public Action Timer_Entity(Handle hTimer, int iEntity) {
    if (IsValidEntity(iEntity)) {
        float fPos[3];
        GetEntPropVector(iEntity, Prop_Send, "m_vecOrigin", fPos);

        PrintToChatAll("Entity: %i, %f, %f, %f", iEntity, fPos[0], fPos[1], fPos[2]);
    }
}

You should try to attach it to a valid attachmentpoint with :

SetVariantString("facemask"); as example.

You could get a list with attachmentpoints on HLMV Modelviewer for your game......

iirc m_vecOrigin of a parented entity gets the local origin, essentially the Entity being parented to becomes it's 0,0,0. There's another netprop that gets the absolute origin of an entity.

I've tested with that too still not the correct position.

Do you know what the netprop is called? I've looked at them all still cannot find it
