Team control point
…
It marks the location of where a capture point should be at, and comes with various specific configurations that determine how it should look in the world, look in the hud, what points a team must own before it's available, etc.
By itself, it is not capable of influencing the game, and requires a trigger_capture_area alongside it to allow it be captured. A single of either team_control_point_master or team_control_point_round must also exist in the map.
Note:There is a maximum of 8 control points per map!Contents
Keyvalues
- Start locked
(point_start_locked)<boolean> - Locked means the point will not be available for capture until it is unlocked via its input.

- Default Owner
(point_default_owner)<choices> - Default Owner of the control point.
- 0 : Neither

- RED Previous Required Point 1
(team_previouspoint_2_0)<targetname> - The name of a previous capture point that RED must own to be able to capture this point. If empty, the team must own all points preceding this one. Pointing to itself means no previous point required.
- RED Previous Required Point 2
(team_previouspoint_2_1)<targetname> - The name of a second previous capture point that RED must own to be abl!pe to capture this point.
- RED Previous Required Point 3
(team_previouspoint_2_2)<targetname> - The name of a third previous capture point that RED must own to be able to capture this point.

- BLUE Previous Required Point 3
(team_previouspoint_3_2)<targetname> - The name of a third previous capture point that BLUE must own to be able to capture this point.
EnableDisable:
- Start Disabled
(StartDisabled)<boolean> - Stay dormant until activated (with the
Enableinput).
Base:
- Parent
(parentname)<targetname> - Maintain the same initial offset to this entity. An attachment point can also be used if separated by a comma at the end. (
parentname [targetname],[attachment])
Tip:Entities transition to the next map with their parentsTip:phys_constraintcan be used as a workaround if parenting fails.
- Origin (X Y Z)
(origin)<coordinates> - The position of this entity's center in the world. Rotating entities typically rotate around their origin.Note:Hammer does not move the entities accordingly only in the editor.
- Pitch Yaw Roll (X Y Z)
(angles)<angle> - This entity's orientation in the world. Pitch is rotation around the Y axis, yaw is the rotation around the Z axis, roll is the rotation around the X axis.Note:This works on brush entities, although Hammer doesn't show the new angles.
- Classname
(classname)<string> !FGD - Determines the characteristics of the entity before it spawns. Tip:Changing this on runtime still has use, like making matching an entry in S_PreserveEnts will persist the entity on new rounds!
Flags
- 1 : Hide Control Point on HUD
- 2 : Start with model hidden
- 4 : Disable shadow
- 8 : Disable sounds
Inputs
Base:
AddContext<string>- Adds to the entity's list of response contexts. See Context.
AddOutput<string>- Assigns a new keyvalue/output on this entity. For keyvalues, some rely on extra necessary code to be ran and won't work if its simply just changed through this input. There is a strict format that must be followed:
// Format of changing KeyValues: "AddOutput [key] [value]"
//// Raw text:
"OnUser1" "!self,AddOutput,targetname new_name"
// Format of adding an Output: "AddOutput {targetname}:{inputname}:{parameter}:{delay}:{max times to fire, -1 means infinite}"
//// Raw text:
"OnUser1" "!self,AddOutput,OnUser1:SetParent:!activator:0.0:-1"
// Arguments can be left blank, but the empty blank should still be contained.
//// Raw text:
"OnUser1" "!self,AddOutput,OnUser1:ClearParent::0.0:-1"
|
ClearContext- Removes all contexts from this entity's list.
ClearParent- Removes this entity from the the movement hierarchy, leaving it free to move independently.
FireUser1toFireUser4- Fires the respective
OnUseroutputs; see User Inputs and Outputs.
Kill- Removes this entity and any entities parented to it from the world.
KillHierarchy- Functions the same as
Kill, although this entity and any entities parented to it are killed on the same frame, being marginally faster thanKillinput.
RemoveContext<string>- Remove a context from this entity's list. The name should match the key of an existing context.
SetParent<string>- Move with this entity. See Entity Hierarchy (parenting).
SetParentAttachment<string>- Change this entity to attach to a specific attachment point on its parent. The entity will teleport so that the position of its root bone matches that of the attachment. Entities must be parented before being sent this input.
SetParentAttachmentMaintainOffset<string>- As above, but without teleporting. The entity retains its position relative to the attachment at the time of the input being received.
EnableDisable:
Enable
Disable- Enable/disable this entity from performing its task. It might also disappear from view.
SetOwner<integer>- Set the owner of the point.
HideModel- Hide the control point model.
ShowModel- Show the control point model again.
SetLocked<integer>- Lock the control point. 0 = unlocked, 1 = locked
SetUnlockTime<integer>- This will automatically unlock the control point in the specified amound of time (seconds).
RoundActivate- Fires the
OnRoundStartOwnedByTeam1andOnRoundStartOwnedByTeam2outputs, then applies theStart Lockedkeyvalue's setting
Outputs
Base:
OnUser1toOnUser4- These outputs each fire in response to the firing of the like-numbered
FireUser1toFireUser4Input; see User Inputs and Outputs.

OnOwnerChangedToTeam2- Sent when owner is changed to BLUE.
OnCapReset- Sent when owner is changed to neutral.
