weapon_smg1 is a point entity available in the Half-Life 2 series.

An automatic machine gun based off the Wikipedia icon MP7. When first picked up, the player is given 90 bullets. Up to 270 bullets and three alt-fire grenades can be carried (including 45 loaded into the weapon). A box of bullets can be placed with item_ammo_smg1 or item_ammo_smg1_large, while grenades can be placed with item_ammo_smg1_grenade.

Before it is picked up, the gun also follows all physics rules as if it were a prop_physics.

Half-Life 2 Half-Life 2/Half-Life 2: Episode One Half-Life 2: Episode One/Half-Life 2: Episode Two Half-Life 2: Episode Two:

In the main Half-Life 2 series, this weapon is usually best utilized in close to medium ranged firefights. Ammo is frequent in HL2/EP1, as it is the weapon of choice for CP units and soldiers. In EP2, ammo is less frequent as the player should encounter much less combine forces, however rebel establishments like white forest should have bountiful supplies of ammo. In all games, close combat areas should put a balanced emphasis on Shotgun and SMG usage.

Entropy : Zero Entropy : Zero/Entropy : Zero 2 Entropy : Zero 2:

In the Entropy : Zero series, this weapon has been given a significant increase to both damage and recoil, giving a heavier emphasis on close-range fights. Ammo is somewhat frequent, as most rebels use the SMG. The player should have a fair amount of SMG ammunition at all times.

Keyvalues

BaseFadeProp:

Start Fade Dist (fademindist) <float>
Distance at which the prop starts to fade.
End Fade Dist (fademaxdist) <float>
Max fade distance at which the prop is visible.
  • If start fade is <0, the prop will disappear instantly when end fade is hit.
  • If end fade is <0, the prop won't disappear at all. (This is the default behavior.)
The values will scale appropriately if the prop is in a 3D Skybox.
Fade Scale (fadescale) <float>
If you specify so in worldspawn, or if the engine is running below DirectX 8 (DX7 in Source 2006), props will fade out even if the fade distances above aren't specified. This value gives you some control over when this happens: numbers smaller than 1 cause the prop to fade out at further distances, while those greater than 1 cause it to fade out at closer distances. Using 0 turns off the forced fade altogether. See also the QC command $noforcedfade.

GMODSandbox:

Allow Physics Gun (gmod_allowphysgun) <boolean> (only in Garry's Mod)
If set, players cannot use Physics Gun on this entity.
Sandbox Tool Whitelist (gmod_allowtools) <string> (only in Garry's Mod)
If set, only given tools can be used on this entity. You need to supply the tool class names, the names of the .lua files of those tools. This also includes the context menu properties!

Base:
Name (targetname) <string>
The name that other entities use to refer to this entity.
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.pngTip:Entities transition to the next map with their parents
Tip.pngTip:phys_constraint can 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.pngNote: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.pngNote: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.pngTip:Changing this on runtime still has use, like making matching an entry in S_PreserveEnts will persist the entity on new rounds!
Flags (spawnflags) <integer> !FGD
Toggles exclusive features of an entity, its specific number is determined by the combination of flags added.
Effects (effects) <integer> !FGD
Combination of effect flags to use.

Flags

  •  [1] : Start Constrained
       Prevents the model from moving.
  •  [2] : Deny player pickup (reserve for NPC)
  •  [4] : Not puntable by Gravity Gun

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.
FireUser1 to FireUser4
Fires the respectiveOnUseroutputs; 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.
Use  !FGD
Same as a player invoking +use; no effect in most cases.
DispatchResponse <string> !FGD
Dispatches a response to the entity. See Response and Concept.
DispatchEffect <string> (removed since Left 4 Dead) !FGD
Dispatches a special effect from the entity's origin; See also List of Client Effects. Replaced by the particle system since Left 4 Dead.

Outputs

Weapon:

OnNPCPickup
Fires when an NPC picks up this weapon. (!activator is the NPC.)
OnPlayerUse
Fires when the player +uses this weapon. (!activator is the player.)
OnPlayerPickup
Fires when a player picks up this weapon. (!activator is the player.)
OnCacheInteraction
Fires when the player 'proves' they've found this weapon. Fires on: Player Touch, +USE pickup, Physcannon pickup, Physcannon punt.

Base:

OnUser1 to OnUser4
These outputs each fire in response to the firing of the like-numbered FireUser1 to FireUser4 Input; see User Inputs and Outputs.
