Entity Description
Spawns one or several entities at the location of the player. Used in multiplayer games to automatically equip the players with standard gear on map spawn, and can be used to equip the player(s) with a multitude of things like weapons, ammo and items. In HL2:SP this entity must instead be triggered to spawn.
The entity requires a few steps to use properly. First you have to tell it what to equip, and then how.
What to equip
To properly use the entity, turn SmartEdit off and add new keyvalues manually. The key name should be the item; the value should be the number of that item to equip. For example, a keyvalue pair of weapon_ar2 and 1 will make the game_player_equip equip the player with 1 Combine assault rifle.
Activation
In multiplayer, simply having this entity anywhere in a map will automatically activate it every time a player is spawned into the map, for the spawning player. This is not supported in singleplay.
You can also trigger this entity to spawn with the Use input. The default .fgd does not contain this input type, so you must manually enter Use into the Input type field instead. Hammer won't register this as a correct input, displaying it in red, but it is correct.
Setting the Use Only flag makes it equip the activating player.
