Entity Description
This is the entity used to equip the player with a multitude of things like weapons, ammo, and items. The entity requires a few steps to use properly. First you have to tell it what to equip, and then how.
To properly use the entity, turn SmartEdit off and add new keyvalues manually. The key name should be the item; the value should be the number of that item to equip. For example, a keyvalue pair of weapon_ar2 and 1 will make the game_player_equip equip the player with 1 Combine assault rifle.
Simply leaving it where you place it will equip when the player spawns. Setting the Use Only flag makes it equip the activator or all players if no activator. Now set up a trigger_multiple to equip it. A problem occurs in that the default .fgd does not contain the correct input type; manually enter Use for the Input type instead. Hammer won't like it, but it is correct.
