Item crate

Stub

This article or section is a stub. You can help by expanding it.

Not to be confused with item_item_crate.

item_crate is a point available in Black Mesa. It can be configured to spawn items into the world when broken, like junk, tools, or electronics. They can also be used to spawn supplies such as an item_battery and item_healthkit.

Note: The item_battery and item_healthkit from Half-Life 2 has the same function as the same two entities in Black Mesa, they just have different models.

Keyvalues

Crate Contains (CrateType) ([todo internal name (i)]) <integer> 

Deprecated.
Do not alter. Numbers other than 0 will cause the crate to spawn nothing after being broken. (If that's desired, try to use a prop_physics instead as it's not as memory-intensive.)

Item Type (ItemClass) ([todo internal name (i)]) <pointentityclass>

Classname of the entity to spawn when the crate is broken. Suggested point entity: item_dynamic_resupply

Item Count (ItemCount) ([todo internal name (i)]) <integer>

Number of items to drop upon breakage.

BreakableProp:

Explosion Damage (ExplodeDamage) <float>

If non-zero, when this entity breaks it will create an explosion that causes the specified amount of damage. See also Explosion Radius.

Explosion Radius (ExplodeRadius) <float>

If non-zero, when this entity breaks it will create an explosion with a radius of the specified amount. See also Explosion Damage.

Sound to make when punted (puntsound) <sound> (in all games since )

Sound to make when punted by gravity gun.

Break Model Message (BreakModelMessage) <string> (only in )

"If set, will use this break model message instead of the normal break behavior."

Breakable (common):

Performance Mode (PerformanceMode) <choices>

Used to limit the amount of gibs produced when this entity breaks, for performance reasons.

Choices

0: Normal 1: No Gibs 2: Full Gibs on All Platforms (Xbox 360, PS3, etc) 3: Reduced gibs

Min Damage to Hurt (minhealthdmg) <integer>

If a single hit to the object doesn't do at least this much damage, the prop won't take any of the damage it attempted to give.

Pressure Delay (PressureDelay) <float>

Seconds to delay breaking from pressure. Allows creaking/groaning sounds to play.

Health (health) <integer>

How close to breaking the object is.

Maximum Health (max_health) <integer>

Health cannot exceed this amount.

Physics Impact Damage Scale (physdamagescale) <float>

Multiplier for damage amount when this entity is hit by a physics object. With a value of 0 the entity will take no damage from physics.

Breakable By (BreakableType) <choices> (only in )

Who can break this?

0: Everyone 1: All Infected 2: Only Tanks

Non-Valve games

Enable Explosion Override (explosion_override) <choices> (only in ) !FGD Enable/disable explosion parameters override (explosion_particle, explosion_particle_liquid, explosion_attachment, explosion_soundscript and explosion_soundscript_liquid). 0: No 1: Yes Explosion Particle (explosion_particle) <string> (only in ) !FGD A particle system to use when this entity explodes. Explosion Particle Underwater (explosion_particle_liquid) <string> (only in ) !FGD A particle system to use when this entity explodes in water. Explosion Attachment Point (explosion_attachment) <string> (only in ) !FGD An attachment point to use for custom explosion particle system. Note:Only for model entities, even despite the fact that this is also present in brush entities. Explosion Sound Script (explosion_soundscript) <sound> (only in ) !FGD A sound script to use when this entity explodes. Explosion Sound Script Underwater (explosion_soundscript_liquid) <sound> (only in ) !FGD A sound script to use when this entity explodes in water. Important:Both explosion_soundscript and explosion_soundscript_liquid require a sound script, a raw sound file will not work.
