Logic auto

Entity description

It fires outputs immediately after a map loads, unlike most other entities that wait for input first. It can be set to check a global state before firing, which allows you to fire events based on what took place in a previous map.

If the "Remove on fire" flag is set, the logic_auto is deleted after firing. Delayed outputs will still work, however.

Warning:Attempting to directly access or modify the player may cause Access Violation errors, because the outputs are fired before the player has spawned. Adding a slight time delay may overcome this.

Keyvalues

Global State to Read ([todo internal name (i)]) <choices>

If set, this specifies a global state to check before firing. The OnMapSpawn output will only fire if the global state is set.
