Template:Otherlang2

Template:Base point It is a message forwarder. It can be used to fire many outputs at once from just one input, or, by being disabled, to break an I/O chain. It can also be very helpful for organization and keeping you from having to edit MANY instances of the same outputs, as opposed to just one.

Keyvalues

Name (targetname) <string>[ Edit ]
The name that other entities refer to this entity by, via Inputs/Outputs or other keyvalues (e.g. parentname or target).
Also displayed in Hammer's 2D views and Entity Report.
See also:  Generic Keyvalues, Inputs and Outputs available to all entities

Start Disabled (StartDisabled) <boolean>
Stay dormant until activated (with theEnableinput).

Flags

  • 1: Only trigger once
  • 2: Allow fast retrigger (otherwise there is a minimum delay of 0.001 seconds)

Inputs

Disable
Prevents the relay from firing OnTrigger outputs in response to Trigger inputs.
Trigger
