World model used before picking up, and when thrown.

View model when holding.

weapon_bugbait is a model entity available in Half-Life 2 series.

Bugbait used to command antlions if "Antlions are player's allies" global state is set with env_global or logic_auto. Primary fire throws the bugbait ordering antlions to move to its landing spot, while secondary fire calls them back towards the player. Player gets an infinite amount of them.

Before it is picked up, the pheropod follows all physics rules as if it were a prop_physics.

To detect when the player uses this entity, see point_bugbait.

Bug:The bugbait is set to an incorrect model in the FGD, causing it to appear as an error in Hammer. This is fixed in TeamSpen210's Hammer Addons. You will also need to delete the folder Half-Life 2/hl2/models, as it contains a broken duplicate of this model which Hammer fails to load.  [todo tested in ?]
