Grinders

Grinders are an environmental hazard seen most prominently in the MvM map Mannhattan. They resemble a wood shredder, and they are a direct danger to not only humans, but robots as well. Be careful where and how you implement this element, as it may allow for tele-trapping and team killing.

This article will cover creating the Grinder outside of an MvM map, which means robots will not be affected by it.

Basic Setup

Create 4 brushes, essentially forming a 288x192 hole. Next, create two `prop_dynamic` entities and place them next to eachother. Set the World Model property to props_urban/urban_shredder
