weapon_gascan_spawn is a model entity available in Left 4 Dead 2. It is a possible spawn point for gas can. Unlike weapon_gascan, this entity is not damageable as it's a spawner. It also doesn't absorb dropped gas cans.

Risk of Confusion:This entity is not effectively used in official maps. prop_physics with model models/props_junk/gascan001a.mdl or weapon_item_spawn entities are effectively used instead.

Keyvalues

Name (targetname) <string>

The name that other entities refer to this entity by, via Inputs/Outputs or other keyvalues (e.g. parentname or target).
Also displayed in Hammer's 2D views and Entity Report.

Weapon Skin (weaponskin) <integer>

Some weapons have multiple versions of their textures, called skins. Set this to a number other than -1 to make the given weapon use that skin instead of the default.

Glow Range (glowrange) <float>

Set a custom glow range for this spawner. 0 means use the default range.

Collisions (solid) <choices>

• 0: Not Solid
• 2: Use Bounding Box
• 6: Use VPhysics (default)

Bug:This entity's FGD entry is missing the count keyvalue which results in no gas can being spawned.

Fix:Change the entity's FGD entry to inherit from WeaponSpawn instead of WeaponSpawnSingle and override the default count from 5 to 1.

Flags
