Using a prop_dynamic as a prop_static? (really quick question)

[Jimmy Lander]

Some props are only supported as "dynamic" but I'd like to use them as static ones. Are there any cons to this?

They count as an edict entity. Other than that, nothing substantial. You will never have as many prop_dyanmic entities as prop_static entities, so you don't have to worry about it.

Just remember that if the model has dynamic and static ticked in the model viewer and you have no intention of making it animate or name it to execute commands via outputs use the static version.

However, some models are only dynamic, in that case, obviously, use prop_dynamic.

Theres no cons besides them being uselful in some places

You could make them dynamic and add hitboxes if they dont have them,tricky way tho but works for me

[Peter Brev]

Clipping a static prop uses less resources than using a dynamic entity with hitboxes, especially if the dynamic entity isn't set up to do anything.
