Template:Hl2 point This entity creates a particle effect from Alyx's EMP.

To attach one end to Alyx's EMP device:

  1. Use the Parent keyvalue or the SetParent input to parent it to npc_alyx.
  2. Send the env_alyxemp the SetParentAttachment input with emp for the parameter.

To change the Target Entity, use the SetTargetEnt input with the new entity name for the parameter.

Todo: How to make Alyx take out the EMP device?
Tip.pngTip:To find attachment points for other models, use ent_attachments.
