From GMod Wiki
| Function | |
| Syntax | Entity:SetCollisionBounds( Vector min, Vector max ) |
| Description: | |
| In a scripted entity's ENT:Initialize event, sets the bounding box of the entity. The box's corners are min and max. See additional notes for more information. | |
| Returns: | nil |

Examples
| Description | Create an entity with a 10x10x10 bounding box. |
|---|---|
| Used on |  |
| Code | function ENT:Initialize() local w=10 //Width local l=10 //Length local h=10 //Height //Vectors local min=Vector(0-(w/2),0-(l/2),0-(h/2)) local max=Vector(w/2,l/2,h/2) //Set bounding box self:SetCollisionBounds(min,max) end |
| Output | N/A |
Additional Notes
- Both of the vectors should be local vectors (meaning that 0,0,0 is the center of the model, not the center of the map)
- The vectors are measured in world units.
- The 'min' is the lowest X, Y, and Z values on the model. For a normal box, all three values should be the same as 'max', but negative.
- The 'max' is the highest X, Y, and Z values on the model. For a normal box, all three values should be the same as 'min', but positive.
- The bounding box is used for triggers (like trigger_multiple or ENT:Touch for scripted entities), determining if rendering is necessary clientside, and collision (if the entity's solid is SOLID_BBOX).
