From GMod Wiki
| Function | |
| Syntax | Entity:PhysicsInitBox( Vector min, Vector max ) |
| Description: | |
| In a scripted entity's initilization event, this function will give the entity the physics model of a box. The box's corners are min and max (see additional notes for more information). | |

Examples
| Description | Create a physics entity with a 10x10x10 box physics model. |
|---|---|
| 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) //Give it some kind of model self:SetModel("models/BarneyHelmet_faceplate.mdl") //Set physics box self:PhysicsInitBox(min,max) //Set bounding box - this will be used for triggers and //determining if rendering is necessary clientside) self:SetCollisionBounds(min,max) end |
| Output | N/A |
Additional Notes
- The physics box remains at a constant angle to the world, meaning it doesn't rotate with the model.
- 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.
