Entity Description

An item_ammo_crate, containing SMG1 ammo.

This large crate contains an unlimited supply of a certain type of ammo (specified by AmmoType). The player can open it as many times as he'd like, by pressing his +use key, and max out this type of ammo.

Placement Tip: This entity should not be placed in areas with many opponents, since this crate provides the player with a big advantage against any opponents in the area.
