An '''instance''' is a {{L|VMF|map (.vmf) file}} referenced inside another map through a {{ent|func_instance}}, possibly aided by a {{ent|func_instance_parms}} and/or {{ent|func_instance_io_proxy}}.

{{note|While working inside {{L|Hammer}} for all Source games, instances are currently only supported by the map compilers for {{l4d2|2}}, {{as|2}}, {{portal2|2}}, {{tf2|2}}, {{csgo|2}}, and {{Src13|2}}, and therefore will not work for any other games. To use them in unsupported games, see below.}}

{{note|In branches before {{l4d2|2}}, instances have some broken or missing functionality: instance I/O system is unsupported, instances cannot be nested, displacements within an instance may not compile properly and any {{ent|env_cubemap}}s inside of an instance will not be compiled into the final map.}}

Экземпляры полезны во многих отношениях:

* Они предоставляют более динамичную альтернативу {{L|prefabs}}, так как любые изменения в экземпляре карты будут отражены во всех его экземплярах.
* Они предоставляют альтернативу {{L|visgroups}}, так как их можно использовать для разделения большой, громоздкой карты на несколько более мелких, управляемых (которые могут даже обрабатываться несколькими авторами одновременно).
* Они предоставляют простой способ редактировать части карты, которые должны быть под неортогональным углом. (Постройте карту на сетке внутри отдельной карты, а затем скопируйте ее на другую карту с помощью {{ent|func_instance}}, повернутого на правильный угол.
* They provide a way for maps to work on multiple platforms, such as {{L|Left 4 Dead}} and {{L|Left 4 Dead 2}} versions of the same map.

==How to==
In Portal 2 to give input to an entity within a instance use this:
::{| class=standard-table
!   || My Output || Target Entity || Target Input || Parameter || Delay || Only Once
|-
| [[File:Io11.png]] || <Output> || <Instance> || instance:<entity>;<input> || <none> || 0.00 || No
|}

Or, alternatively, you can do this:
::{| class=standard-table
!   || My Output || Target Entity || Target Input || Parameter || Delay || Only Once
|-
| [[File:Io11.png]] || <Output> || <Instance>-<entity> || <input> || <none> || 0.00 || No
|}

== Workaround for any Source game == 

To use instances in unsupported Engine versions, [http://steamcommunity.com/id/metapyziks Metapyziks] wrote a program that merges used instances with the main VMF.
