logic_case is a point entity available in all Source games. It either compares an input to up to 16 configured values, firing a corresponding output if there is a match (on InValue), or fires a random output (on PickRandom).
Bug:This entity will not recognize floats with trailing zeroes (like 0.50 or 1.00). Always remove any.
Tip:Use with logic_timer for extremely random events.Keyvalues
