Physgun resets SENTs buoyancy

[AdventureBootCoder]

This has been happening for a while now, on several different branches. If you spawn an entity with it's buoyancy set via code and then handle it with the physgun, the buoyancy is reset:

self:GetPhysicsObject():SetBuoyancyRatio(.8)

However this is fixed by using a workaround hook:

hook.Add("PhysgunDrop", "SetBouyancyOnDrop", function(ply, ent)
	if ent:GetClass() == "classname" then
		local phys = ent:GetPhysicsObject()
		timer.Simple(0, function()
			if IsValid(phys) then
				phys:SetBuoyancyRatio(.8)
			end
		end)
	end
end)

I feel like it's not intended to do this so I thought I'd report it.

P.S. It also seems to be happening with the grav gun as well

This is an unfortunate reality of what PhysObj:SetMass does. Since we can't even retrieve the buoyancy ratio from the physics engine, this cannot be fixed properly.

Ah okie, thanks for the reply, I'll just have to use my workaround hook for all of my ents that require being buoyant
