Talk:Item suit

The item_suits never seem to show up, what is wrong here?

You've got to spawn it rather than place it. Confusing, I know... --TomEdwards 13:42, 5 Aug 2005 (PDT)

So if I don't want the player to have to spawn it from the console, I have to have another entity spawn it for me?

using give won't work...suit is given by a hack in this command -ts2do

Sorry but I'm lost.

What I did was insert a point_clientcommand entity. I then have the player start out inside of a trigger once, which triggers the point_clientcommand with a parameter override of "give item_suit." That effectively "uses" that console command and thus gives the player the suit from the beginning of the level.

There must be an easier way to do it, though.

Yes, there is. Insert the newgame_spawn prefab and look how it handles it. --TomEdwards 01:33, 8 Aug 2005 (PDT)

I inserted that prefab and checked it out. I did what it did but it didn't seem to work. What I did was I inserted a logic_auto, and added a output named "OnNewGame," target entity named "spawn_suit," via the "ForceSpawn" input. Then I created a point_template with the name "spawn_suit," and "suit" in the Template 1 field. Then I simply named the suit "suit." No suit spawned upon load.
