OK. I tested all solutions.
Here are results:
1) Jay suggestions
a) item->VPhysicsGetObject()->RemoveShadowController();
item->SetMoveType( MOVETYPE_VPHYSICS );
It does not work. Item is still floating in air. Maybe ShadowController does
not manage this aspect.
Sad as this solution were sounding incredibly smart.
b) item->VPhysicsDestroyObject();
item->VPhysicsInitNormal( SOLID_VPHYSICS, 0, false );
It works but partially as it is like gravity centre is not localized at the
original position so that my item can fall in a bad position instead of
standing up.
2) Paul suggestions
IPhysicsObject *phys= item->VPhysicsGetObject();
phys->EnableMotion( true );
phys->EnableGravity( true );
phys->EnableCollisions( true );
phys->Wake();
item->SetMoveType( MOVETYPE_VPHYSICS );
Vector forward;
((CBasePlayer *)GetOwner())->EyeVectors( &forward );
Vector pos = GetOwner()->Weapon_ShootPosition();
item->Teleport( &pos, NULL, NULL );
CBasePlayer *pOwner = (CBasePlayer *)GetOwner();
Pickup_OnAttemptPhysGunPickup( item, pOwner, PICKED_UP_BY_CANNON );
AttachObject( item, pos );
It is working very well.
Jay, thank you very much for your suggestions even if Paul's suggestions are
working better. I'm discovering this ShadowController which I was ignoring.
It is very interesting to know them now.
Paul, thank you very much. You did. Two suggestions. Two success. What else
?
Thank guys. You made my day.
