Entity:SetOwner should not normally be used unless you want to disable collision between two entities. Sure, Entity:GetOwner gets what's set by Entity:SetOwner, but Entity:SetOwner also disables collisions and gives kill credit to the "owner". If you simply want to give kill credit, use Entity:SetPhysicsAttacker |
Examples
| Description | Sets target entity to be owned by you |
|---|---|
| Used on | |
| Code | function ownd(ply) local tr = utilx.GetPlayerTrace( ply, ply:GetCursorAimVector() ) local trace = util.TraceLine( tr ) trace.Entity:SetOwner(ply) end |
| Output | None. |
Additional Notes
- You can walk through an entity you own, and you can't physgun it.
- Bullets goes through entities you own.
- The owner does not have to be a player. It can be any type of entity.
- This function (Or the C++ equivalent) is used for weapons. Hence why collision is disabled and the owner takes kill points.
