Weapon physcannon

Entity Description

The Zero Point Energyfield Manipulator
(Gravity Gun)

A gravity gun, used to manipulate physics objects in the game world. (It was designed for handling hazardous materials, but the people at Elis lab mainly used it for heavy lifting.)

Like all weapon entities, it follows all physics rules as if it were a prop_physics.

In Half-Life 2: Deathmatch, the player spawns with a gravity gun by default.

Tip:To upgrade the gravity gun to the blue super gravity gun, you will have to set up an env_global entity to look like this:

Class: env_global
Keyvalues		Comments
