prop_vehicle_prisoner_pod

Combine prisoner pod that the player can ride in.

If mapping for Garry's Mod 11+, using any models/nova/ models (ie models\nova\jeep_seat.mdl) with this class will utilize proper sitting animations and is ideal for chairs. To utilize a custom chair model and maintain proper animations:

1. Place the 'prisoner_pod nova chair' inside the visual prop_static chair (with your custom model)
2. Parent the 'prisoner_pod nova chair' to a prop_dynamic to prevent it from moving via the keyvalue 'parentname'
3. Set the keyvalue 'rendermode' to 10 for the 'prisoner_pod nova chair' to disable rendering it.
4. (optional) Set the keyvalue 'limitview' to 0

Keyvalues

Parentname:

Parent (parentname) <targetname>

Specifies a movement parent. An entity will maintain its initial offset from its parent. An attachment point can be added to the end of the name, separated by a comma.
