Weapon bugbait

World model used before picking up, and when thrown.

View model when holding.

weapon_bugbait is an e0 available in Half-Life 2 series. It can be used to command antlions. The player gets an infinite amount of them.

Before it is picked up, the pheropod also follows all physics rules as if it were a prop_physics.

To detect when the player uses this entity, see point_bugbait.

Bug:The bugbait is set to an incorrect model in the FGD, causing it to appear as an error in Hammer. This is fixed in TeamSpen210's Hammer Addons. You will also need to delete the folder Half-Life 2/hl2/models, as it contains a broken duplicate of this model which Hammer fails to load.  [todo tested in ?]
