env_shooter #

TWHL

env_shooter is capable of shooting two types of objects - gibs and shots. The latter is an addition from Spirit of Half-Life and usually is used with sprites (although not necessary), while the former is designed to work with models.

Set the Delay between shots to negative value to make env_shooter produce the specified number of projectiles on the same frame.

To set a sprite you may need to specify the path manually instead of relying on the open file dialog in the level editor.

New parameters #

• Gib/Shot physics - define the physics of the projectile. Also this determines whether env_shooter shots gibs or shots.
• Start frame (shot) - start sprite frame. Only for shots.
• Framerate (shot) - sprite framerate. Only for shots. Set to 10 or other value for animated sprites.
• Bounce friction (shot) - friction when the projectile touches the ground. Only for shots.
• Fire on collision (shot) (locus = shot) - a target to fire on collision, with shot acting as an activator.
• Fire on collision (shot) (locus = wall) - a targer to fire on collision, with the collided entity acting as an activator.
• Shot size (X Y Z) - the shot size. Must be 3 positive numbers.

New spawnflags #

• Scale models - whether scaling is applied to the models. The reason why this behavior is not enabled by default is that some env_shooters in Half-Life set big scales, but model scaling is not implemented in Half-Life.
• Don't wait till land. By default gibs won’t start their lifetime countdown until they land on the ground. Tick this flag to start countdown right away, without waiting for landing.
• Start instantly - start producing projectile on the same frame it was called. By default in Half-Life it starts producing gibs/shots only on the next frame which may cause some problems.
