Talk:Info target

• Disappearing info_targets: Is this a feature or a bug? I create a new info_target, give it a name, compile in VBSP and run in engine (CS btw, but that doesn't matter for this entity). I type ent_fire in the console to see if its present, and it is. Then, I parent the info_target to a func_movelinear so that the target will move in a sequence I'm doing. Recompile BSP and bam, no more info_target by that name? I remove the Parent entry and the info_target is back? Workaround of firing a SetParent when the sequence starts is fine, but this just doesn't seem right. Or maybe I'm wrong...

• info_targets have a flag, [delete on start] make sure it is not checked. This is for optimization purposes. When you set a camera angle when game starts for example.

Im not 100% sure about this but I seem to remember something like it. Let me know if it helps.--Deadity 00:30, 4 Feb 2006 (PST)

Wow. quick answer--Deadity 00:31, 4 Feb 2006 (PST)

At least in HL2 info_targets doesn't have any flags at all, or anything similar to what you are describing. Are you thinking about info_null, that is automatically deleted on compile? --Andreasen 01:38, 4 Feb 2006 (PST)
