No Collide Tool Guide
Complete guide to the No Collide tool in Garry's Mod - make props pass through each other
No Collide Tool
The No Collide tool makes props pass through each other. Essential for overlapping props, removing physics conflicts, and smooth contraptions.
Basic Controls
| Action | What It Does |
|---|---|
| Left-click | No-collide two props together |
| Right-click | No-collide prop with the world |
| Reload (R) | Remove no-collide constraint |
No Collide Types
Prop to Prop (Left-click twice)
Left-click the first prop
Left-click the second prop
Both props now pass through each other
Prop to World (Right-click)
Makes a prop pass through:
- Map geometry
- Static world brushes
- But not other props
Falling Through
Props no-collided with world will fall through the floor unless frozen or welded to something solid.
Common Uses
| Use Case | Method |
|---|---|
| Overlapping props | No-collide them together |
| Physics conflicts | Remove collision causing shake/spaz |
| Decorative props inside others | No-collide to embed |
| Smooth moving parts | No-collide hinged/sliding pieces |
All No Collide Options
Some servers have extended no-collide addons with:
| Mode | Effect |
|---|---|
| Multi No Collide | One prop no-collides with many at once |
| No Collide All | Prop passes through everything |
| Player No Collide | Players walk through the prop |
Tips
Cause: No-collide only works between specific prop pairs.
Solution: No-collide each pair separately, or use "No Collide All" if available.
Cause: No-collided with world but not frozen.
Solution: Freeze it or weld to a grounded prop.
Solution: Use Remover Right-click (constraints only) or Precision Removal mode.
Quick Reference
| Task | How |
