[SOLVED] Script won't recogize edited .ent

Heres the .hps file:

The entity is an edited container item ("chem_chem"), used as a visual representation of filling the container. I want it to be visible when you place the item over a script area, but it's still visible. I tried using item activating and it still won't recognize the .ent.

[Mudbill]

Can you explain a bit more? Are you saying it's INvisible? As in not there?

[FlawlessHappiness]

I want it to be visible when you place the item over a script area, but it's still visible.

So... what is the problem?

[A.M Team]

I wan't this .ent file to be moved outside the map (invisible), notice the move entity position script. UNTIL I use an item on an area, then it will move back to its original position attached to a machine.

BUT its not recognizing the entity's name, (chem_chem). Why?

EDIT: It turned out that static objects can't move via script. I'm retarded...

[FlawlessHappiness]

Show us a picture of the name of the entity in the map.



The following is not correct. See next comment for clarification of what I meant.

Spoiler below!

Make sure the entity isn't a static entity. (This can be checked in the model editor)
A static object would look like this in the model editor:

These entities cannot be set active nor inactive. I don't know if they can be moved though.

[Mudbill]

Actually, Object > Static can be scripted, but not the default StaticProp type.

[FlawlessHappiness]

Actually, Object > Static can be scripted, but not the default StaticProp type.

Oh right, fuck... Sorry.
That's what I meant..
