Entity Description

Shotgun ammo.

A box of 12 gauge buckshot shotgun shells that will provide ammunition for the shotgun.

Despite the appearance of its model, the amount of ammo the box will provide depends on the current difficulty setting:

  • At the "Easy" (skill 1) setting the box will provide 24 shells.
  • At the "Normal" (skill 2) setting the box will provide 20 shells.
  • At the "Hard" (skill 3) setting the box will provide 12 shells.

(Apparently manufactured by Salvotech, most certainly with no affiliation with the real world company.)

Keyvalues

  • Targetname:

Name <string>
The targetname other entities refer to this entity by.
  • Angles:

Pitch Yaw Roll (Y Z X) <angle>
This entity's angular orientation in the world.
  • Shadow:

Disable shadows <bool>
Prevent the entity from creating cheap render-to-texture shadows. Does not affect shadow mapping.
  • fademindist
<float> Distance at which the prop starts to fade (<0 = use fademaxdist). If 'Screen Space Fade' is selected, this represents the number of pixels wide covered by the prop when it starts to fade.
  • fademaxdist
<float> Maximum distance at which the prop is visible (0 = don't fade out). If 'Screen Space Fade' is selected, this represents the *minimum* number of pixels wide covered by the prop when it fades.
  • fadescale
<float> If you specify a fade in the worldspawn, or if the engine is running under dx7, then the engine will forcibly fade out props even if fademindist/fademaxdist isn't specified. This scale factor gives you some control over the fade. Using 0 here turns off the forcible fades.
