Talk:List of entities

Anyone else think that, if all of the entities are going to have an entry, that this should be changed to a category? I'm not gonna do it yet, but if the general opinion is that it should, then I'm sure someone will do it. --Charron 09:54, 29 Jun 2005 (PDT)

I've made a few changes that I think will help:

• Sorted entites into true categories based on effect, not name. There's only a few differences and it makes more sense.
• Renamed each category to a 'friendly' description.
• Added an index with headings to make jumping around easier.

Thanks, I could have done it, but I wasn't sure how

--Fragrag

List seems to suit better than a category, especially considering how many entities there are

--Zevensoft

I suggest making templates for the inputs/outputs on the entities

--Megiddo

I think some standardised formatting for entities would be nice - I'm starting something here... -- Cargo Cult 14:38, 4 Jul 2005 (PDT)

I haven't checked this myself, but is aiscripted_schedule correct or was it supposed to be ai_scripted_schedule? nevermind, i checked in hammer its right :)

Adding Entities

Anyone got a reason I shouldn't add env_tonemap_controller? Reasons may include: "It doesn't work!" and "It's already there." All I know is, it's in my unmodified .fgd, screaming for attention.

There seem to be several missing entities. I'm adding them as I come across them. No one's objected yet. -shrug- —Maven ^(talk) 15:29, 18 Sep 2005 (PDT)

Purpose of this article

Is this article supposed to be a comprehensive list of entities? I.e., is it supposed to list every entity ever created in Source games (such as HL2, HL2 Ep1/2, DOD:S, CS:S, Portal, TF2, non-VALVe Source-based games) as well as Goldsource games (for the sake of information availability)?

I'm asking this because a lot of articles / categories devoted to entities in these various games already exist, and by the looks of it, this article might only be redundant information. Since I'm not aware of "the big picture" when it comes to full lists of entities (probably others might recognize at a glance what this list refers to), I might be wrong. But at least someone could specify the goal or philosophy behind this article, by describing what game(s) the list refers to.
