rangerHitEntities not working.

[Quatricks]

Describe the bug

rangerHitEntities in my chip is not working. I want to know reason of this bug.

@name 
@inputs Ent:entity
@outputs 
@persist 
@strict

if(first())
{
    rangerHitEntities(1)
    rangerHitWater(1)
    rangerIgnoreWorld(0)
    rangerDefaultZero(0)
    rangerWhitelist(1)
    rangerFlags("ewz")
    
    EntList = array(owner(),entity())
    
    rangerFilter(EntList)
}

event tick()
{
    local AimPos = (owner():pos() - Ent:pos()):toAngle()
    Ranger=rangerOffset(150,owner():pos(),owner():forward())
    Ent:setPos(Ranger:position()+vec(0,0,100))
    Ent:setAng(AimPos)
    Ent:propNotSolid(0)
}

How to reproduce the bug

1. Join in the server with wiremod.
2. To place e2 chip.
3. Item(Ent) not ignore me.

Hello Quatricks,
I start by saying I never use ranger in my gmod wire life, I notice you miss RangerData input so:

@name TEST RANGER
@inputs Ent:entity RangerData:ranger
@persist EntList:array

if(changed(->RangerData)& ->RangerData){
    rangerIgnoreWorld(0)
    rangerDefaultZero(0)
    rangerWhitelist(1)
    rangerFlags("ewz")
    rangerHitEntities(1)
    rangerHitWater(1)
  
    EntList = array(owner(),entity())
    rangerFilter(EntList)
}

if(->RangerData){
    if(changed(RangerData:entity()) & RangerData:entity()!= noentity()){
        for(I=1,EntList:count(),1){
            if(RangerData:entity() == EntList[I,entity]){
                break
            }elseif(I == EntList:count()){
                print(RangerData:entity())
            }
        }
    }
}

event tick()
{
    if(->Ent){
        local AimPos = (owner():pos() - Ent:pos()):toAngle()
        Ranger=rangerOffset(150,owner():pos(),owner():forward())
        Ent:setPos(Ranger:position()+vec(0,0,100))
        Ent:setAng(AimPos)
        Ent:propNotSolid(0)
    }
}

Anyway I had encounted your same problem with the filter, for the moment I had apply a workaround, but again im not good with ranger's.

Let me know :)

[Quatricks]

No problem, like i find decision, i send message you :)

You forgot rangerPersist. Dumb old feature, I know. Let me know if that fixes this.

[Quatricks]

@Denneisk thx for help!

[Quatricks]

@Denneisk I added the rangerPersist function and the Ent position still shifts quickly.

@name 
@inputs Ent:entity
@outputs 
@persist Ranger:ranger
@strict

if(first())
{
    rangerHitEntities(1)
    rangerPersist(0)
    rangerHitWater(1)
    rangerIgnoreWorld(0)
    rangerDefaultZero(0)
    rangerWhitelist(1)
    rangerFlags("ewz")
    
    EntList = array(owner(),entity())
    
    rangerFilter(EntList)
}

event tick()
{
    if(Ent)
    {
        local AimPos = (owner():pos() - Ent:pos()):toAngle()
        Ranger=rangerOffset(150,owner():pos(),owner():forward()*5)
        Ent:setPos(Ranger:position()+vec(0,0,100))
        Ent:setAng(AimPos)
    }
}

You set it to 0 so it's acting the same as you didn't set it at all. You need to set it to 1.
