[ANY] Advanced Grab Entity - v2.2 [Oct 18, 2019]

Stugger · **Author**

Description:
This provides the ability to precisely grab, move and rotate entities freely with your mouse on all axis. I started this a while ago and decided to share. There are similar plugins, however I would consider mine geared more towards precision grabbing and movement as well as not only restricted to props. I highly doubt you'll find one with the rotation mode feature as well.

Using Rotation Mode

General Notes:

This is very useful if you're using my TrackTrains plugin.

This should work on any game, please let me know otherwise.
The admin flag for use is set to ADMFLAG_CHEATS
This should work on most entities, not just props. Rotation will be iffy on non-props though.
If you just want v1.5 (no rotation mode), let me know.

Use Notes:

This works best if you bind +grabent to a key, otherwise you will have to manually do -grabent to release.
While grabbed: Reload Key will Enable/Disable Rotation Mode.
---
While grabbed and NOT on a Rotation axis: Primary Attack(Mouse1) will PUSH the entity farther away.
While grabbed and NOT on a Rotation axis: Secondary Attack(Mouse2) will PULL the entity closer.
The farther away the entity you're grabbing is from you, the faster it will be pushed/pulled.
The closer the entity you're grabbing is to you, the slower it will be pushed/pulled.
---
While grabbed and in Rotation Mode: Walk keys (A,S,D) will dictate the rotation axis. (W to show all rings).
While grabbed and in Rotation Mode: Holding A+S+D keys will reset the entities angles to 0
While grabbed and on a Rotation axis: Primary Attack(Mouse1) will +Rotate on selected axis.
While grabbed and on a Rotation axis: Secondary Attack(Mouse2) will -Rotate on selected axis.
---
You will not be able to use your weapon while grabbing (Mouse1/Mouse2 and Reload are used)
You will not be able to walk while in Rotation Mode, the keys are needed for settings.
---
By default, the grabbed entity will be frozen on release unless you change sm_grabent_freeze to 0
If you change the freeze value to 0, it will revert back to 1 on map change/reconnect.
Some entities will remain frozen regardless, as not all are geared for physics. Players will always be unfrozen.

Commands:

Code:

sm_grabent_freeze <0/1>
      > This will determine whether or not the grabbed entity will be frozen when released.
      > The default value is 1. Entities will be frozen on release
      > Setting the value to 0 will mean entities will be unfrozen on release
+grabent
      > Grab the entity you're looking at.
      > While grabbed: reload key to enter/exit rotation mode
      > While grabbed, and not on a rotation axis: mouse1 to push and mouse2 to pull.
      > While grabbed, and on a rotation axis (A,S,D): mouse1 to +rotate and mouse2 to -rotate
-grabent
      > Release the entity you're grabbing.
      > Depending on your freeze setting, the entity will either remain frozen, or unfreeze.
      > This is irrelevant if you bind +grabent to a key.
