chaning the weight of an prop_weighted_cube

#1 · June 17, 2011, 5:44 pm

Is it possible to change the weight of an prop_weighted_cube?

Why? because if it gets pushed it rolls to far (sphere)

The only possibility without switching to prop_physics and manually built buttons would be to decompile the model and embed a recompiled version with modified propdata.

Also I think I recall someone having trouble due to there being a upper limit on the weight that can be picked up by the portal gun (50 I think?)

Is there a convar for changing the portal gun's weight limit?

@dakoon: Mass can be changed on prop_physics but it's meant to remain the same to maintain consistency, so it's better to make a different object if you need something heavier.

@walropodes: if the old ones are still there, yes.

Ive tried different values of Mass Scale but they behave all the same.
Can i set the mass directly ?
Is there another moddel? I dont like the skin of the current

You can set mass directly in the Override Parameters using eg. mass,10

Another useful means of tweaking physical properties is a trigger_vphysics_motion, which lets you scale gravity, add extra air resistance & set a max speed.
