Talk:Npc launcher

This entity seems to be used in Half-Life 2, in d1_eli_02. Can anyone else check other games? --RandomCatDude (talk) 19:35, 1 December 2018 (UTC)

Targeting a target

Using a trigger_multiple, logic_relay, and npc_launcher together. Make the trigger_multiple activate the logic_relay. Then we set the targetname of the !activator (of the trigger). The npc_launcher turns on, updates, fires. After the missile fires, we clear the target's targetname, forget it existed and turn off. I am not certain if the UpdateEnemyMemory/ForgetEntity is needed. Further testing is required.
