Would it be possible to use a prop_dynamic instead of a physically simulated cube? Also, not sure if it's possible, but you could try locking an axis of the cube so it doesn't spin.

I need to use the cube to activate a button.
How do you lock the axis of the cube?
Also I encountered another problem, it may be a bug or something, but the cube doesn't rise until it is picked up and the let go.

Try using a "Think" script that forces the cube to face the same angles but different yaw.

How do you do that?

I guess thats how cubes are in when they are in water. They don't float. Maybe trigger_push could do it? a big one a little bit underneath the surface

Well, the trigger push works, but when I stand on the cube, the player doesn't float up. Is there a way to change the weight?

You know, that's a physically thing: If the cube is in a zero-gravity-field, it experiences no force. If you then push him slowly up, he experiences a small force for a short amount of time. The player, however, is always in the normal gravity field. Therefore, if he stands on the cube, his immersive weight will almost immediately push the cube to the floor. To be able to push the player upwards, the cube would have to be attacked by an immense force. But then it would go straight upwards without th player standing on it.

So you'll need to trick a little bit. Have you tried parenting a func_brush with the players clip texture to the cube? That might work.

Thanks brainstone, the playerclip thing works!
Now I need to throw a cube to ride it.
Does anyone know how to add a cube throwing function? Like in portal when your holding a cube and then you click the left mouse button and it throws.
Don't say that you can throw cubes using Sixense, I know, I have one, but 15/16 of this community don't use the hydra, so is there a console command, a squirrel script to do this?
