Gas can?

I'm not a level designer, but I think the gas can is missing from the current entity list?

"A gas can may be found in the generator section of the No Mercy demo. When shot, it will explode and engulf the area in flames, much like a molotov cocktail." - Wikipedia

  • I think it's done with already existing entities. If you really want to know, go and check it out yourself. It would be a goddamn mayhem if there was a different entity for each object you may encounter. Please don't try to look smart if you never mapped before. ;)--Baliame (talk) 11:25, 12 Nov 2008 (PST)
  • It's a waist of time to answer a question if you cannot do so without degrading the asker in the process. After you have insulted or humiliated someone you can usually guarantee they will not follow through on your advice or whatever path you were trying to get them to take. --brandished 02:39, 14 Nov 2008 (PST)
  • Look like to be a simple prop_multiplayer with a new model, like a oildrum. But it only spread fire. --Gectou4 00:54, 14 Nov 2008 (PST)
  • The gas can is a "prop_physics" with a "models/props_junk/gascan001a.mdl" worldmodel. The explosion \ flame data is all tied into the model itself rather then into a new entity class. The old red and white flammable barrel from HL2 was setup the same way. --brandished 02:39, 14 Nov 2008 (PST)

If you go into the developer console and type in weapon_ you can find all the weapons. Which I believe it is weapon_gascan I did not check. - undeadbobop 8:45 11/17/08

Not sure?

I might be wrong, but I added these:

I tried loading the bsps in BSPViewer, and it gives me a text file with a list of ents in them, being those. If they're wrong, someone can just delete them ;) I have a feeling they may be HL1?? --Craziestdan 20:17, 13 Nov 2008 (PST)

Hmm taking a look myself in the L4D maps, and I haven't seen these, thats quite odd.--Gear 20:20, 13 Nov 2008 (PST)
I'm wasn't to sure about what was new either (other then the ones I already added to the article). A few days ago I created a list of all the entities the demo maps use and uploaded it here for a post on l4dmaps. --brandished 23:16, 13 Nov 2008 (PST)

Zombie spawns?

I am wondering on how you make zombie spawns that are always there not a chance so I need to know the eneite name for the zombies which would be helpful for mappers.
