logic_case is a point entity available in all Source games. It compares an input to up to 16 configured values, firing a corresponding output if there is a match (on InValue), or fires a random output (on PickRandom). Use logic_random_outputs for a weighted random output.

Important:This entity stores values ​​as strings, so if you specify one of the case as "1.50", then when you try to compare float it will not match, because the float will be "1.5", and not "1.50".

Tip:Use with logic_timer for extremely random events.

Keyvalues

Name (targetname) <string>[ Edit ]

Case 01 (Case01) to Case 16 (Case16) <string>

The values to test against.

Inputs

InValue <stringRedirectInput/string>

Compares the Input value to the case values, and fires the appropriate output, if any.

PickRandom

Fires a random OnCase output with at least one connection.

PickRandomShuffle

Fires a random OnCase output with at least one connection, with no repeats until all cases have been picked, at which point the shuffle starts over.

Outputs

OnCase01 to OnCase16

!activator = activator of the input causing this
!caller = this entity
Fired when the input value equals the corresponding Case value.

OnDefault

!activator = activator of InValue input
!caller = this entity
Fired when the input value does not equal any of the Case values.

OnUsed  (only in )

!activator = activator of InValue input
!caller = this entity
Fired when an input value is received, regardless of whether it matches a case.
