Template:Entity It is the entity that the tank_boss entity uses as a base and thus shares a lot of its behaviors. A few examples include:
- Crushes engineer buildings that collide with it
- TFBots treat this entity as an enemy
- Drops currency pack on death
- Plays sounds to client when it gets damaged
base_boss itself was originally intended for the now-scrapped 
Raid gamemode. By itself, it is static and does not perform anything; however, it is still of use in setting up a custom hitbox for any custom static NPC bosses.
Tip:This entity can be used for a moving bot template via VScript, see the example.Warning:The default step height of this entity is 100, so if driven by NextBot locomotion it can have issues with elevations. This can be fixed by lowering the height via SetStepHeight input. In code, it is represented by theCTFBaseBossclass, defined in thetf_base_boss.cppfile.
Keyvalues
- model ([todo internal name (i)]) <string>
- Filepath to the model this entity will use. Will use the model bounding box to determine its hitbox and collision
