Code: Lua
  1. local CATEGORY_NAME = "Custom Commands"
  2.  
  3. ------------------------------ Up ------------------------------
  4. function ulx.up( calling_ply )
  5.    local ent = calling_ply:GetEyeTrace().Entity
  6.    if not IsValid( ent ) then return end
  7.    local y = ent:GetAngles().y
  8.    local pos = ent:GetPos()
  9.    ent:SetAngles( Angle(0, y, 0) )
  10.    ent:PhysWake()
  11. end
  12.  
  13. local up = ulx.command( CATEGORY_NAME, "ulx up", ulx.up, "!up" )
  14. up:defaultAccess( ULib.ACCESS_ADMIN )
  15. up:help( "Sets the looked at entity upright." )
  16.  

Here is a short video of it in action!

You could use Entity.PhysWake() (https://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Entity/PhysWake) to clean up the code a little. Does pretty much exactly what you do at the end.

I wonder if this function is new(ish) because I've only ever done it the other way.
Thanks for the info.
