CreateProp

Places a static mesh in the world.

An entity of ENTITY_PROP every client in range shows. mesh is a key of the mesh list; without the tables export only a path passes. scale is uniform (1 = the mesh’s own size); rigid makes it a physics body on each client (false = static); world is the virtual world (nil = the shared one). Nobody controls a prop, nobody mounts or takes it; DestroyEntity removes it, a reload removes them all. nil when the mesh resolves to nothing or the world is full.

Syntax

CreateProp(mesh, x, y, z [, yaw, scale, rigid, world])

Parameter	Type
mesh	string | number	the mesh’s id, file name or path
x	number	metres
y	number	metres
z	number	metres
yaw	number	degrees (0 without) (optional)
scale	number	uniform scale (1) (optional)
rigid	boolean	true = a pushable physics body on each client; false = static (optional)
world	number	the virtual world; nil = the shared one (optional)

Returns

number - the prop’s entity id; nil when it could not be made

Example

-- an arena ring of barrels
for i = 0, 11 do
  local a = math.rad(i * 30)
  CreateProp("barrel_a", cx + math.cos(a) * 6, cy + math.sin(a) * 6, cz, i * 30)
end
