Entity description

9mm Pistol

This entity places a 9mm semi-automatic pistol (strikingly similar to the H&K USP Match commonly used by the Combine Civil Protection teams) in a map that can be picked up and used as a weapon. When picked up, the player is given 18 bullets (regardless of the difficulty setting) and the pistol (if they do not already possess one).

Additional rounds (up to 168 in total) can be picked up. A box of ammunition can be placed in a map with the item_ammo_pistol or item_ammo_pistol_large entity. The pistol also follows all physics rules as if it were a prop_physics. It is relevant in Half-Life 2 single- and multi-player; however, the player starts with 108 bullets and the gun itself in standard multiplayer.

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.

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.
