logic_case is a point entity available in all Source games. It compares an input to up to 16 configured values, firing a corresponding output if there is a match (on InValue), or fires a random output (on PickRandom). Use logic_random_outputs for a weighted random output.

Important:This entity stores values ​​as strings, so if you specify one of the case as "1.50", then when you try to compare float it will not match, because the float will be "1.5", and not "1.50".

Tip:Use with logic_timer for extremely random events.
