This is a really fun idea

I have a suggestion for usability, if you don't mind

Right now it looks like you have to aim directly at the cash register model in order to get the "E" prompt. That can be a little bit annoying to aim exactly at (especially when trying to make a quick robbery) so I think it might be helpful if you changed the detection method to be a little bit "forgiving"

#

Instead of using the player's eyetrace hit entity, perhaps you could use this: https://wiki.facepunch.com/gmod/util.IntersectRayWithOBB

Garry's Mod Wiki

util.IntersectRayWithOBB

Performs a Ray-OBB (Orientated Bounding Box) intersection and returns position, normal and the fraction if there was an intersection.

#

This would allow you to expand the size of the "hitbox" for the cash register model

Oh, thanks for that!

No problem at all

#

Depending on how it winds up feeling to use, you might also try something like https://wiki.facepunch.com/gmod/util.IntersectRayWithSphere

Garry's Mod Wiki

util.IntersectRayWithSphere

Performs a ray-sphere intersection and returns the intersection positions or nil.

#

It would definitely work best with models that are approximately cube or sphere shaped, which the cash register is

west delta It would definitely work best with models that are approximately cube or sphere ...

I was looking for that

#

Thank you!
I am going to make a few more games like that
