Example

A workaround for weapons created by maps not taking into account spawnflags.

function SWEP:AcceptInput( name, activator, caller, data )

	-- Check for input and spawnflag
	if ( name == "ConstraintBroken" && self:HasSpawnFlags( 1 ) ) then

		-- Freeze the weapon
		local phys = self:GetPhysicsObject()
		if ( IsValid( phys ) ) then phys:EnableMotion( false ) end
	
		-- Remove the spawnflag so it doesn't freeze the weapon when it is dropped
		local newflags = bit.band( self:GetSpawnFlags(), bit.bnot( 1 ) )
		self:SetKeyValue( "spawnflags", newflags )
	end
end
