Talk:Physics Entity Overview

Just updated a couple of these descriptions for these reasons: phys_constraintsystem is not about performance, it's about stability of the interactions between constraints. phys_convert is only useful for converting an entity with some other behavior. For totally static stuff that you want to be physical later, you should use prop_physics or func_physbox with motion disabled, then trigger an EnableMotion input to make them physical. Also the previous description referred to prop_static which is not a real entity (it's equivalent to world geometry) and cannot be acted upon by any entity I/O so phys_convert cannot target one of those.

I would be a lot happier using motion disable if it also disabled the grav. gun playing the primary fire sequence when you try to punch the prop. Is that going to be fixed? Thanks. --TomEdwards 12:09, 28 Jul 2005 (PDT)
