Configuration #

Some aspects of ammo entities can be configured via Entity templates.

Model #

E.g. ammo_45acp, ammo_57mm and ammo_nails entities share the model with ammo_9mmAR by default. To change this you may use entity templates:

{
    "ammo_45acp": {
        "own_visual": {
            "model": "models/w_45acp.mdl"
        }
    },
    "ammo_57mm": {
        "own_visual": {
            "model": "models/w_57mm.mdl"
        }
    }
}

Pickup sound #

The pickup sound for the specific ammo entity can be changed via entity templates with the custom Ammo.Pickup soundscript.

{
    "ammo_buckshot": {
        "soundscripts": {
            "Ammo.Pickup": {
                "waves": ["weapons/lock4.wav"]
            }
        }
    }
}

Ammo amount #

The ammo amount provided by the specific ammo entity by default can be changed via the features/ammo_amounts.cfg file.

Example:

ammo_gaussclip 25
ammo_556 100

New parameters #

Custom Model - custom model for the entity instance.
Custom amount - custom ammo amount provided for the player on picking up.
Gravity Setting

New spawnflags #

TOUCH Only - can be picked up only by touching.
USE Only - can be picked up only by pressing +use on it.

Server cvars #

mp_ammo_respawndelay - delay before ammo entity respawns in multiplayer game. -2 means default (which is 20 seconds in Half-Life). -1 means never respawn.
