Carrying Crate SENTs
This addon adds several scripted entities that act as storage for props and other entities. Pressing the use key on a crate will secure all contents within it, and pressing the use key on it again will release it. Some crates can lose their loads when tipped too far. This addon has wiremod support, with an input that acts like using the entity, and one as output for checking if it is currently holding something. Crates will not attempt to pick up anything constrained to them nor things parented to them/anything they are parented to. And yes, crates can hold other crates with stable behavior. Picking up complex contraptions, like acf vehicles, is perfectly stable, though there can be unwanted physics engine side effects when they are released again. I am currently investigating this, but it never causes server slowdowns nor crashes.
There is a customizable crate entitiy as well, though it is currently in development. It is stable, but just lacks some quality of life features. Right now their size limits are 512 units, but soon I will add a console variable to allow users to change that limit, as well as add indication as to how large the area is with a wireframe box outline.
If you are looking to add your own crates, feel free to decompile the .gma, and inside the lua folder is a template.lua file with everything you need to make your own crates, as well as the ones in this addon as examples in case you get lost.
