Hi, I have an entity (a sprite) and it is setup like this:

PHP Code:

new iEntity = create_entity("func_button");
entity_set_int(iEntity, EV_INT_solid, SOLID_TRIGGER);
entity_set_int(iEntity, EV_INT_movetype, MOVETYPE_NONE);
entity_set_model(iEntity, g_szTimerSprites[iType]);
entity_set_size(iEntity, Float:{-16.0, -128.0, 0.0}, Float:{16.0, 128.0, 128.0}); 


When I try to hook a touch, however, the player never seems to touch the entity. The code for it is:

PHP Code:

register_touch("player","*","hook_touch");
public hook_touch(player, entity) {
    new classname[32];

    entity_get_string(entity, EV_SZ_classname, classname, 31);

    console_print(player, "Class name touched: %s", classname);
} 


I never get my entity touch, even though I walk through it. If I change the EV_INT_solid to SOLID_BBOX, it works just fine.

Any ideas why this is happening?

Thank you!

Long shot but try spawning it(dllfunc_spawn). Just a guess but might solve your problem.

Try this:

PHP Code:

new iEntity = create_entity("func_button")
    
if( !iEntity )
    set_fail_state( "Error creating entity" );
    
entity_set_int(iEntity, EV_INT_movetype, MOVETYPE_NONE);
entity_set_model(iEntity, g_szTimerSprites[iType]);
entity_set_size(iEntity, Float:{-16.0, -128.0, 0.0}, Float:{16.0, 128.0, 128.0}); 
dllfunc( DLLFunc_Spawn , iEntity );
entity_set_int(iEntity, EV_INT_solid, SOLID_TRIGGER);

I had been using sprite entity with solid_trigger as you need, but with fakemetas detection for touch:

public pfn_touch( ent1, id )
{                   
          new classname[ 32 ], name[ 32 ]
          entity_get_string( ent1, EV_SZ_classname, classname, 31 )
                    
          if( equal( classname, "your_ent_classname" ) )
          {

If this matters: i put solid_trigger atribute after all others (like bugsy's example) and it didnt require dllfunc_spawn func calling

Just set not MOVETYPE_NONE.

This worked, thank you!

Detecing touch is the same with both engine and fakemeta so this is not the issue. However you should use engine in order to catch only the touches you need, not all of them.
