I'm the 8.558kBind guy.
PSA: conflicts in the archer_proxy and base_boss pages
They both use template pairs that intend to show the same thing: Template:KV Targetname + Template:KV BaseEntity pair, and Template:I Targetname + Template:I BaseEntity pair. So this is what the page ends up looking like this:
How the page is displayed
KeyValues section
- Name (targetname) <string>[ Edit ]
- The name that other entities refer to this entity by, via Inputs/Outputs or other keyvalues (e.g.
parentnameortarget).
Also displayed in Hammer's 2D views and Entity Report.See also: Generic Keyvalues, Inputs and Outputs available to all entities
Inputs section
My Proposal
TheTargetnametemplates, Template:KV Targetname and Template:I Targetname are actually deprecated, and theBaseEntitytemplates are the currently maintained and more updated ones, so I advise against using any of them.
BUT if you still are thinking about theTargetnametemplates, I request that when using{{KV Targetname}} template, do it like this:
{{KV Targetname|basehl2=1}}
- Name (targetname) <string>[ Edit ]
- The name that other entities refer to this entity by, via Inputs/Outputs or other keyvalues (e.g.
parentnameortarget).
Also displayed in Hammer's 2D views and Entity Report.See also: Generic Keyvalues, Inputs and Outputs available to all entities
As for the{{I Targetname}}template, there isn't a way to control what infomation is displayed, so I won't give any suggestions on how to use it.
One more thing, give the Show Preview and Show Changes buttons some tries, they're very helpful before you publish edits! I use Show Preview after pasting my VDC edit .HTML file drafts to a page, then Show Changes to write out a summary, or an alternate method to double-check on edits. --Orin (talk) 04:32, 24 May 2021 (PDT)
