Entity Item Definition¶

Entity items spawn or represent scripted entities in the world. Use them when an inventory item should place a specific entity, tool object, or deployable prop when used.

Placement¶

Register entity items in:

garrysmod/gamemodes/[schema folder]/schema/definitions/sh_items.lua

Use lia.item.registerItem in that shared file to define the item directly from code.

Reference¶

Field	Type	Purpose
`name`	`string`	Display name shown in the inventory.
`model`	`string`	World and inventory model used by the item.
`desc`	`string`	Description text shown to the player.
`category`	`string`	Inventory category used for sorting and grouping.
`entityid`	`string`	Scripted entity class spawned by the item.

Example¶

lia.item.registerItem("chair", "base_entities", {
    name = "Chair",
    model = "models/props_c17/FurnitureChair001a.mdl",
    desc = "A placeable chair.",
    category = "entities",
    entityid = "prop_physics"
})
