An ammunition pile.

weapon_ammo_spawn is a model entity available in Left 4 Dead series. Ammo restocks can spawn at this area, which replenishes ammo for all weapons except the Grenade Launcher and M60.

Keyvalues

Name (targetname) <string>[ Edit ]: 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. See also: Generic Keyvalues, Inputs and Outputs available to all entities

World Model (model) <string>: The model this entity should appear as. 128-character limit.

Count (count) <integer>: Max number of weapons given before disappearing.

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.

Glow Backface Multiple (glowbackfacemult) <float> (only in ) !FGD: If this object has a glow effect, multiply the effect by this much on the sides of the object that are facing away from the viewer.

Flags

Enable Physics : [1]

Must Exist : [2]

Infinite items (overrides count) : [8] (only in )

Absorb any dropped weapon type : [4] (only in )

Don't cluster with similar items : [131072] (only in )

Warning:Do NOT use the Infinite items (overrides count) flag. Not only it doesn't make sense, but it also breaks the manipulation of this entity by AllowWeaponSpawn and ConvertWeaponSpawn. For example, it breaks the ammo to laser conversion in Tank Run.

Outputs

OnItemSpawn (removed since ): Fired if this object is spawned on the map. If the weapon is removed during the weapon spawn pass, this will not fire.
