When you set the parent on the object it adds a shadow controller to the physics object so it can follow the motion. When you unset the parent you need to either remove the shadow controller or recreate the vphysics object (destroy it and call VPhysicsInitNormal() again)
So the easiest fix is probably just item->VPhysicsGetObject()->RemoveShadowController(); > > > item->SetMoveType( MOVETYPE_VPHYSICS ); and leave out all of the other ->Enable...() calls -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Paul Peloski Sent: Wednesday, December 12, 2007 1:51 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [hlcoders] Back from FollowEntity -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] #include "player_pickup.h" flag->Teleport( desired_origin, desired_angles, NULL ); Pickup_OnAttemptPhysGunPickup( flag, player, PICKED_UP_BY_CANNON ); physcannon->AttachObject( flag, desired_origin ); Try that..
