Team

Stub

This article or section is a stub. You can help by expanding it.

Every entity has a team property but it's mostly relevant for players and NPCs. It can affect appearances or other behaviors of players. Material proxies can be used to render a texture only for some teams. (List of material proxies)

Below are examples of other entities where team alignment affects their behaviour:

• func_simpleladder in determines which team can climb it
• other examples^[Todo]

The contents flags CONTENTS_TEAM1 and CONTENTS_TEAM2 can be used by game code to filter whether brushes should be solid to different teams. This is usually done via entity code, but can also be applied using %CompileTeam (in all games since ) (which can be applied for older games using a modified VBSP).

Changing team

• SetTeam input - available to all entities
• teamnumber keyvalue (in all games since Alien Swarm) and (also in Team Fortress 2 branch)
• TeamNum input/keyvalue - sets so called "initial" team, not the team itself, which sets the entity's actual team when the entity is spawned (even when loading from save file)

Note:All these Inputs/Keyvalues use integers

Note:If an entity doesn't use m_iTeamNum to dictate team, then SetTeam cannot be used to set the team, unless it overrides the input. Examples of where this occurs include filter_activator_team and func_team_wall.
