logic_case is a point entity available in all Source 2 games. It compares an input to up to 32 configured values, firing a corresponding output if there is a match (on InValue), or fires a random output (on PickRandom). Use logic_random_outputs for a weighted random output.

Important:This entity stores values ​​as strings, so if you specify one of the case as "1.50", then when you try to compare float it will not match, because the float will be "1.5", and not "1.50".

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.
