Dod control point

GoldSrc

Source Engine

dod_control_point is a point entity available in Day of Defeat: Source.

This entity is usually represented visually by a flag (but is not required). In turn, it represents a capturable location within the map.

Note:This entity works in conjunction with Dod_capture_area.

Note:A maximum of 8 control points can be in a single map.

The default owner of this control point at round start.

• Neither (default value)

Display model:

Important:Avoid changing the Axis/Allies/Reset models and bodygroups from Valve's defaults unless you know what you are doing; players rely upon these to know who owns a control point!

Allies Model (point_allies_model) <string>

Model when allies own point.

Allies model bodygroup (point_allies_model_bodygroup) <integer>

Allies model bodygroup. Default value used by Valve is "1".

Axis Model (point_axis_model) <string>

Axis model bodygroup (point_axis_model_bodygroup) <integer>

Axis model bodygroup. Default value used by Valve is "0".

Reset model bodygroup (point_reset_model_bodygroup) <integer>

Note:Due to limitations in Hammer's FGD syntax, the default FGD will always show this entity as an Axis flag, regardless of what is set here; see Enhanced FGD entry for a workaround (requires Hammer++).

The unique number of this control point to refer Dod_capture_area.
