The AddOutput output in Hammer uses the syntax : <key> <value> or <output name> <target name>:<input name>:<parameter>:<delay>:<max times to fire (-1 = infinity, 1 = once only)> to be used in the parameters field of the output
Warning: Don't use quotation characters (") in the Text Message field (not even \" characters). It will cause fatal errors with opening and/or compiling your map and may need to be fixed by manually editing the VMF in a text editor. Instead, use use detailed quotes (i.e. “ and ”).Syntax example with parameters: OutputName TargetName:Color:255 255 255:0:-1
Syntax example with NO parameters: OutputName TargetName:Open::0:-1
It is worth noting that if you have no parameters, then put nothing between the two colons.
Max times to fire will not work with values other than 1 or -1. 1 = fire once, -1 = fire infinite times.
Examples
- Format:
<key> <value>
{
"classname" "prop_physics"
"targetname" "prop01"
.
.
.
"OnHealthChange" "!self,AddOutput,targetname prop9001"
}
This changes the target name of the prop. In this case, it is changing it's own name, so !self == prop01.
- Format:
<output name> <targetname>:<inputname>:<parameter>:<delay>:<max times to fire, 1 means once and -1 means infinite>
{
"classname" "tf_logic_auto"
.
.
.
"OnMapSpawn" "team_round_timer_red,AddOutput,OnFinished game_round_win:RoundWin::0:-1,0,-1"
}
This adds an output to an entity with the targetname "team_round_timer_red".
- Trigger_Multiple
- Name: Ghost
- Outputs
- My Output Named: OnEndTouch
- Targets entities named: !activator
- Via this input: Alpha
- With a parameter override of: 255
- After a delay in seconds: 0.10
- My Output Named: OnStartTouch
- Targets entities named: !activator
- Via this input: AddOutput
- With a parameter override of: rendermode 1
- After a delay in seconds: 0.00
- My Output Named: OnStartTouch
- Targets entities named: !activator
- Via this input: Alpha
- With a parameter override of: 120
- After a delay in seconds: 0.00
Results in translucent player when standing in the trigger_multiple (OnStartTouch) and visible again when not in the trigger_multiple (OnEndTouch).
