SetSolid() defines the manner in which collisions between this entity and others are handled. SetSolidFlags() can be used to tweak behaviour further.

Note.pngNote:Behaviour can change subtly depending on whether the object is colliding or being collided with.

SolidTypes

SOLID_NONE
The entity does not generate its own collisions. Depending on the MoveType, its origin may still collide with brushes but will Touch() unreliably.
Tip.pngTip:Use SetMoveType(MOVETYPE_NOCLIP) to completely disable all movement collision.
SOLID_BSP
The entity has a brush model defined by the map. Collides with SOLID_BBOX and SOLID_VPHYSICS objects, but not other SOLID_BSPs.
SOLID_BBOX
The entity collides with an axis-aligned bounding box. Collides with everything. Required for hitbox tests.
Tip.pngTip:Use UTIL_SetSize() to define the extents of the box. But remember to stop calling it if the entity changes to another SolidType, or you will get a crash that disappears when a debugger is attached!
SOLID_OBB
SOLID_OBB_YAW
The entity collides with an object-aligned bounding box. OBB_YAW restricts orientation to Z-axis.
Icon-Bug.pngBug:"Not implemented yet".
Confirm:Functions like SOLID_NONE right now.
  [todo tested in ?]
SOLID_CUSTOM
TestCollision() is called every frame to handle collisions.
Todo: Relationship with FSOLID_CUSTOMRAYTEST and FSOLID_CUSTOMBOXTEST?
SOLID_VPHYSICS
Use VPhysics for collisions. Collides with everything. Call VPhysicsInitNormal() or VPhysicsInitShadow() if you use this!
