Parenting a Prop_physics? Created 17 years ago2007-01-22 14:33:38 UTC by RotatorSplint

I was messing in Hammer the other day, and I was trying to make a cannon that launched an explosive gasoline canister. I was using a point_template hooked up to a button to tell it to spawn the canister when the button is pressed. The problem is that the prop_physics entity won't move with the cannon's barrel - it will spawn in the position it is at startup.

Is what I want to do possible in Hammer or am I up the creek without a paddle?

is the point_template the entity that actually spawns it?

if so, can it be parented to the cannon?

Nope, there's no option to parent the point_template. Only "name" and positions for the names of the props being spawned.
