item_ammo_crate

item_ammo_crate is a point entity available in Half-Life 2, Half-Life 2: Episode One, Half-Life 2: Episode Two, and Half-Life 2: Deathmatch. This entity places a large crate containing an unlimited supply of a certain type of ammo (specified by Ammo Type). The player can open it as many times as desired, by pressing the +use key (E by default), and get a complete refill of the specified ammo type.

Placement Tip:This entity should not be placed in areas with many opponents, since this crate provides the player with a big advantage against any opponents in the area.

In code, it is represented by theCItem_AmmoCrateclass, defined in theitem_ammo.cppfile.
