Entity Description

A trigger volume that spawns a fry of leeches around entities inside it, that does damage to them until they die.

Used to discourage and prevent players from straying too far into deep water.

Availability

This brush-based entity is available in: HL2. In code it is represented by class CTriggerWateryDeath (http://doxygen.page.needed/class_c_trigger_watery_death.html), defined in hl2_dll\hl2_triggers.cpp (http://doxygen.page.needed/hl2__triggers_8cpp-source.html).

Keyvalues

• targetname <target_source>

Defines the name that other entities refer to this entity by.

• hammerid [Episode Two Update]

<integer readonly> This id is used for debugging purposes in Hammer.

• parentname <target_destination>

Specifies the targetname of this entity's Parent in a movement hierarchy. Child entities move with their Parent.

If a trigger does not start out with a parent, but rather gets one during run-time, this value should be set to a static entity. This is so the entity's solidity is set to VPhysics rather than BSP.

• origin

<origin> The position of this entity's center in the world. Rotating entities rotate around their origin.

• StartDisabled

<boolean>

• globalname

<string> Name by which this entity is linked to another entity in a different map. When the player transitions to a new map, entities in the new map with globalnames matching entities in the previous map will have the previous map's state copied over their state.

• filtername

<filterclass> Filter to use to see if activator triggers me. See the filter_activator_name entity for further explanation.
