If I want to except a prop from this command

for _, ent in pairs( ents.FindByClass( "prop_physics" ) ) do
if ent:IsValid() then
ent:Remove()
ent.NoCopy = true
end
end

And this is the prop path

models/hunter/plates/plate32x32.mdl

How would i go about doing this?

(Basically i want it to remove all prop_physics except for the plate 32x32)

for _, ent in pairs( ents.FindByClass( "prop_physics" ) ) do
if ent:IsValid() then
if ent:GetModel() ~= "models/hunter/plates/plate32x32" then
ent:Remove()
ent.NoCopy = true
end
end
end

EDIT: without ".mdl" , sorry (at least that's what the wiki says, test it and see out :))

Wait, won't that remove ONLY the 32x32 plates?

local function RemoveEntity(modelName)
	if !modelName then return end --Makes sure there's actually a value being passed.
	
	for _, ent in ipairs( ents.FindByModel( modelName ) ) do
		if ent:IsValid() and ent:GetClass() == "prop_physics" then
			ent:Remove()
			ent.NoCopy = true
		end
	end
end

" ~= " means "is not" in lua.

I recommend you to use != instead of ~= because it's easier to type and used more frequently.

Thanks for the help everyone, It's appreciated.

But then your code loses portability, so it comes down to using what you prefer.

I've been using ~= since GM9, so it's not likely that I'm going to change this late in the game.

I find myself alternating them intermittently.

Hell, sometimes I'll use them both in the same line.

if (value ~= arg1) and (value ~= arg2) and (value != arg3) and (value ~=arg4) then

Just mixing things up so you don't get bored, of course.
