Asw alien goo

asw_objective_triggered

This is a point entity available in Alien Swarm. It creates an animated object which behaves like the biomass in Alien Swarm. When the player touches it, he will be hurt and it can be destroyed using fire. This entity will constantly play its worldmodels idle animation.

Note:This entity can be given any worldmodel and it will still behave like biomass, but it is recommended to use the biomass models found in models\aliens\biomass\ folder, which are designed for this purpose and have an appropriate idle animation

Tip:Good for interaction with asw_objective_destroy_goo!

Burning Link Name

Alien goo/Grub sacs that share the same Burning Link Name will all be set on fire when one of those alien goo's is set on fire.

Tip:Useful for creating large numbers of biomass on a single spot, which should interact when being bunt.

Has Ambient Sound

Whether the goo has a slimey ambient sound effect loop or not.

Tip:Whe using large amounts of biomass their ambient sounds may dominate the levels ambience too much, so you might only want one or two biomass entities play a loop.

Note:Does not mean goo must be destroyed to complete mission - to achive that effect use asw_objective_destroy_goo entity.
