weapon_rpg is a model entity available in Half-Life 2, Half-Life 2: Episode One, Half-Life 2: Episode Two, Half-Life 2: Deathmatch, and Half-Life 2: Lost Coast.

Entity Description

A rocket launcher. When first picked up, the player is given 3 rockets. Up to 3 rockets can be carried at once. A rocket can be placed with item_rpg_round. The rocket entities are named rpg_missile.

If player has to face a gunship it's wise to put item_ammo_crate with the Ammo Type set to RPG Rounds nearby so player has an unlimited supply of rockets to succesfully stand against the gunship.

Before it is picked up, the rocket launcher also follows all physics rules as if it were a prop_physics.

Tip:The prop_vehicle_apc also uses guided rockets, a specialized class CAPCMissile also defined in weapon_rpg.cpp.
