Set Block Box Active - Henriksen - 01-24-2012
Hi, I was wondering if its possible to use the "SetEntityActive" func on a block box.
RE: Set Block Box Active - Unearthlybrutal - 01-24-2012
It worked when I tested so I think that its possible

Do you think it could be something with the fact that I use the "block_box_nonchar.ent" and not the "block_box.ent"

The usual block box blocks the player, nonchar blocks the entity

I am trying to block entities and I want to disable it when I use a lever. But the setentity doesnt work for it I believe. Maybe there is another func to disable block boxes

try this, tbh i've never touched the command and have no idea what it does.
SetPropActiveAndFade(string& asName, bool abActive, float afFadeTime);
Activates/deactivates a prop.
asName - internal name
abActive - nothing to add
afFadeTime - time in seconds until prop fully fades
But its worth a shot i guess

Block Box can use SetEntityActive.
RE: Set Block Box Active - Henriksen - 01-24-2012
Just got back from basket. Gonna try the function Trip provided me.
Flamez3, the block box can but I am not sure if the block box nonchar can.
EDIT: Didn't work. Thanks for the idea though. Guess I'll have to find a other way then. Thanks for all the answears anyway!

Yes they work. I've used SetEntityActive on nonchar block boxes before. Delete map cache, check naming, use debug messages to make sure your script is working. The usual.
