Trigger brush

This entity is not in the FGD by default.
See below for instructions on making it available.

Entity Description

Special Targetnames

A Trigger_brush can be named one of these special targetnames, which can fire outputs anytime a certain event occurs.

For Example: When a player entity dies, it sends the Use input to game_playerdie. If you name a Trigger_brush to game_playerdie and give it some OnUse outputs, they will fire every single time a player dies.

• game_playerdie - Fires every time a player dies. The player who died is the !activator.
• game_playerkill - Fires every time a player kills another player, the killer is the !activator.
• game_playerjoin - Fires every time a player joins the game, the joining player is the !activator.
• game_playerspawn - Fires every time a player spawns, the spawning player is the !activator.
• game_playerleave - Fires every time a player leaves the game, !activator will not work in this case as the player entity no longer exists.
