Editing the FGD (Optional)

Helper Model

Unfortunately, this entity lacks any sort of helper model to make it easier to position the item realistically, so here is a quick guide on how to add the option for a helper model:

• Open Left 4 Dead 2\bin\left4dead2.fgd
• Using the find option, search for:

  @PointClass base(Targetname,Angles) = weapon_item_spawn

• Replace that with:

  @PointClass base(Targetname,Angles,Studiomodel)studioprop() = weapon_item_spawn

Then, if you have Hammer already open while making these changes, save whatever you were doing, close Hammer, and once you launch it you will see this option

Default Values

Some Keyvalues are automatically set to 1 on this entity, which can be tedious to set back to 0 if you don't want that item.

To change this, go to the same FGD as above, but this time, look for this line:

item1(integer) : "Ammo pile" : 1 
item2(integer) : "First aid kit" : 0 
item3(integer) : "Molotov Cocktail" : 1 
item4(integer) : "Pain Pills" : 1 
item5(integer) : "Pipe Bomb" : 1 
item6(integer) : "Oxygen Tank" : 0
item7(integer) : "Propane Tank" : 0
item8(integer) : "Gasoline Can" : 0
//item9(integer) : "" : 0		
//item10(integer) : "" : 0
item11(integer) : "Adrenaline" : 1
item12(integer) : "Defibrillator" : 0
item13(integer) : "Boomer Bile" : 0
//item14(integer) : "" : 0
//item15(integer) : "" : 0
item16(integer) : "Chainsaw" : 0
item17(integer) : "Grenade Launcher" : 0	
item18(integer) : "M60 Machinegun" : 0

All of those numbers at the end dictate the default value. Change those lines to this to set them all to 0:

item1(integer) : "Ammo pile" : 0
item2(integer) : "First aid kit" : 0 
item3(integer) : "Molotov Cocktail" : 0
item4(integer) : "Pain Pills" : 0
item5(integer) : "Pipe Bomb" : 0
item6(integer) : "Oxygen Tank" : 0
item7(integer) : "Propane Tank" : 0
item8(integer) : "Gasoline Can" : 0
//item9(integer) : "" : 0				
//item10(integer) : "" : 0
item11(integer) : "Adrenaline" : 0
item12(integer) : "Defibrillator" : 0
item13(integer) : "Boomer Bile" : 0
//item14(integer) : "" : 0
//item15(integer) : "" : 0
item16(integer) : "Chainsaw" : 0
item17(integer) : "Grenade Launcher" : 0	
item18(integer) : "M60 Machinegun" : 0
