Item ammo canister

edit

Not to be confused with item_ammo_box.

item_ammo_canister is a model entity available in Black Mesa. It's a canister that stores ammunition, used for expeditions in the border world Xen, usually delivered in a supply pod, also often found near dead HEV scientists.

Note:Most objects that inherit class CBasePickup in Black Mesa have the following features:

• They're VPhysics objects (disabled in multiplayer mode).
• Respawn in multiplayer mode (item_weapon_ entities creating xen portal effects as well).
• No physics and collision in multiplayer.
• Model can be changed to your own via the parameter (which is not in the FGD by default, added in Enhanced Black Mesa FGD).

Note:It is non-pickable if used 0 for all ammo values.

Bug:

• Doesn't collide with other CBasePickup and weapon_ entities
• Doesn't hide env_sprite in multiplayer when picked up.
• Doesn't give a new weapon if the player didn't have it before (tripmines for example).

Tip:Use this parameters for NewLight_Point to recreate the dynamic light effect for fake/non-pickable canisters or for multiplayer mode:

• Light color (lightcolor) "255 150 0 255"
• Appearance (style) "Flicker A"
• Light Intensity (Intensity) "32"
• Specular Multiplier (SpecMultiplier) "0"
• Light Type (lighttype) "2"
• Range (range) "100"
