Item suit

This entity is also available as [[{{{1}}}|{{{1}}}]] for the Half-Life Engine.

Template:Entity
This represents the Mark V Hazardous Environment Suit, Aka HEV-Suit, when not being worn by the player. It is an upgraded version of the Mark IV suit that Black Mesa employees were required to wear when handling anomalous materials (in Half-Life).
This is only a pickup to enable suit charging and the HUD (EquipSuit()).

Placement Tip:This entity should be placed at least one unit above the ground, or it will not be visible in-game.

In code, it is represented by theCItemSuitclass, defined in theitem_suit.cppfile.

Suit Jingle

When Dr. Gordon Freeman enters his suit in Half-Life 2, a small tune starts playing.

To set this up, have the item_suit output OnPlayerTouch target an ambient_generic with the input PlaySound.

The song used in Half-Life 2 is called song_trainstation_05_suit (music/hl1_song11.mp3), but there is apparently also a tune called song23 (music/hl2_song23_suitsong3.mp3) that, judging by its name, was intended for the HEV suit.

Flags

• 1: Short Logon (Deprecated)

When checked, doesn't play the logon (hl1/fvox/bell.wav) sound. In Half-Life, this flag was used to cut the HEV suit's long logon speech, but was cut from Half-Life 2 along with many HEV voicelines. (Dr. Kleiner replaced the feature with a short bell)
