Entity Description

Alyx's gun. It is not intended to be used; however, it can be used in HL2 single player. It is apparently a burst-fire pistol,capable of switching to single shot mode, with considerable strength, and no player model. The model the player sees when wielding it is the worldmodel of the gun, hovering eerily in front of them. The Alyxgun has its own unique ammo type. It can be wielded both by Alyx, and by npc_citizens. According the animations of its model, it also has the potential to be folded out into a submachine gun and a rifle. Do not use without altering the code to repair it.

Keyvalues

• targetname <target_source>

• angles <angle>

Pitch Yaw Roll (Y Z X)

This entity's angular orientation in the world (also used for angular effect entities).

• fademindist [Episode One Update]

<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 [Episode One Update]

<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 [Episode One Update]

<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.
