SetSolidFlags()

SetSolidFlags() implements various flags that affect the precise nature of an entity's solidity. It is used in conjunction with SetSolid().

Tip:An entity with SetSolidFlags(FSOLID_NOT_SOLID | FSOLID_TRIGGER) generates Touch() calls without colliding with other objects. This is the behaviour of triggers.

Other functions

void AddSolidFlags()

void RemoveSolidFlags()

Adds or removes flags without affecting those already active.

bool IsSolidFlagSet()

Tests whether a particular flag is set.

int GetSolidFlags()

Get the complete SolidFlags bitstring.

Flags

FSOLID_CUSTOMRAYTEST

Ignore solid type + always call into the entity for ray tests. ^[Todo]

FSOLID_CUSTOMBOXTEST

Ignore solid type + always call into the entity for swept box tests. ^[Todo]

FSOLID_NOT_SOLID

Entity becomes non-solid (without losing its underlying SolidType). prop_dynamic entities set to SOLID_NONE are upgraded to SOLID_OBB and FSOLID_NOT_SOLID when Spawned so that the bounding box will properly rotate.

FSOLID_TRIGGER

Touch() is triggered even if collisions are disabled.

FSOLID_NOT_STANDABLE

Players can't stand on this.

Todo: What happens when they try to?

FSOLID_VOLUME_CONTENTS

Contains a volumetric substance like water.

FSOLID_FORCE_WORLD_ALIGNED

Forces the collision rep to be world-aligned even if it's SOLID_BSP or SOLID_VPHYSICS. ^[Todo]

FSOLID_USE_TRIGGER_BOUNDS

Uses a special trigger bounds separate from the normal OBB. ^[Todo]

FSOLID_ROOT_PARENT_ALIGNED

Collisions are defined in the root parent's local coordinate space.

FSOLID_TRIGGER_TOUCH_DEBRIS

This FSOLID_TRIGGER entity will also Touch() debris objects.
