Entity Description

Ceiling Turret

A Combine turret attached to the ceiling.

Rarely used in Half-Life 2 (if at all), in favor of its cousin npc_combine_camera. See also its siblings: npc_turret_ground and npc_turret_floor.

Warning: This turret is really strong, and when it dies, the sound stays.
