Is it possible to change an entity collision group?
Entity(index).get_property_float('m_CollisionGroup')
This doesn't work

This is not a float. That being said, that property is aliased:
CBaseEntity.ini#L76

How would I set the collision group? If I print that it just says NONE

NONE is from CollisionGroup.NONE:
https://github.com/Source-Python-Dev-Te ... p.cpp#L357To set it, just use the CollisionGroup enum:
Syntax: Select all
from entities.constants import CollisionGroup
Entity(index).collision_group = CollisionGroup.PLAYER

I just want to clarify that collision_group is under BaseEntity and not Entity so it is confusing in the documentation. Just to be clear all of BaseEntity functionality works with Entity?

Entity inherits from BaseEntity:
_base.py#L73. So yes, everything available in BaseEntity is available for Entity but not the other way around (see Entity as being an extended version of BaseEntity).

Notice that the second line under a class declaration in the documentation lists the "Bases" (or inherited classes) of that class.
http://wiki.sourcepython.com/developing ... ity.EntityThe documentation would grow exponentially if we listed all functionality under each class that it inherits from another.
