Item ammo crossbow (Black Mesa)

GoldSrc

Source Engine ( General | Half-Life: Source | Black Mesa )

edit

item_ammo_crossbow is a model entity available in Black Mesa. It's a clip of  crossbow bolts with neurotoxin or detonator (depending on singleplayer or multiplayer mode), acts as ammo for the weapon_crossbow. The mod version are using general bolt design that is closer to real prototypes and original Half-Life.

Note:Most objects that inherit class CBasePickup in Black Mesa have the following features:

• They're VPhysics objects (disabled in multiplayer mode).
• Respawn in multiplayer mode (item_weapon_ entities creating xen portal effects as well).
• No physics and collision in multiplayer.
• Model can be changed to your own via the parameter (which is not in the FGD by default, added in Enhanced Black Mesa FGD).

Bug:Doesn't collide with other CBasePickup and weapon_ entities (not in ).
