Entity Description

RPG launcher

Places an RPG (Rocket-Propelled Grenade) launcher in a map, that can be picked up and used as a weapon. When picked up, the player is given 3 rockets and the launcher if they do not already possess one. Additional rockets (up to 3 in total) can be picked up.

Individual rockets can be placed in a map with the item_rpg_round entity or use an item_ammo_crate with the Ammo Type set to RPG Rounds to place an unlimited-supply of rockets each time you open it.

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.
  • 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.
