Info npc spawn destination

Entity Description

NPC Spawn Destination. An npc_template_maker (or another npc_makers which use templates, such as npc_hunter_maker) can optionally have these set as the destination of where the NPC will spawn. If multiple info_npc_spawn_destinations exist with the same targetname, one will be selected either at random, or based on the parameters of the npc_template_maker.

Todo: Write a better description.

Parentname:

Specifies a movement parent. An entity will maintain its initial offset from its parent. An attachment point can be added to the end of the name, separated by a comma.

This entity's orientation in the world. Pitch is rotation around the Y axis, yaw is the rotation around the Z axis, roll is the rotation around the X axis.

Inputs

Parentname:

SetParent <stringRedirectInput/string>

Move with this entity. See Entity Hierarchy (parenting).

SetParentAttachment <stringRedirectInput/string>

SetParentAttachmentMaintainOffset <stringRedirectInput/string>

As above, but without teleporting. The entity retains its position relative to the attachment at the time of the input being received.

ClearParent

Removes this entity from the the movement hierarchy, leaving it free to move independently.
