ai_goal_throw_prop
is a point entity available in Black Mesa. Initially, this entity should disable/enable prop throwing for
npc_alien_controller
. However, this entity doesn't work in any public version of the game (the mod version as well). Besides this, you can control the throwing mechanic via inputs and outputs from npc_xontroller
and npc_alien_controller
. Used once in bm_c3a2i
and does nothing.
Keyvalues
- Name
(targetname)
<string> - The name that other entities refer to this entity by, via Inputs/Outputs or other keyvalues (e.g.
parentname
ortarget
).
Also displayed in Hammer's 2D views and Entity Report. - Actor(s) to affect
(actor)
<target_name_or_class> - Entity name or classname (works only with
npc_alien_controller
) to affect. - Search Type
(searchtype)
<choices> - How to search for the entities using the targetname.
- 0: Entity Name
- 1: Classname
- Start Active
(startactive)
<choices> - How to search for the entities using the targetname.
- 0: No
- 1: Yes
- Physics Prop Name
(propname)
<string> - Name of the physics prop to throw.
Inputs
Activate
<void>- Begin contesting position.
Deactivate
<void>- Cease contesting position.
CBaseEntity:
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 movement hierarchy, leaving it free to move independently.
FireUser1
toFireUser4
- Fires the respective
OnUser
outputs; 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 thanKill
input.
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.
DispatchEffect
<string> (removed since) !FGD
- Dispatches a special effect from the entity's origin; See also List of Client Effects. Replaced by the particle system since
.
RunScriptFile
<script> (in all games since) (also in
)
- Execute a VScript file from disk, without file extension. The script contents are merged with the script scope of the receiving entity.
RunScriptCode
<string> (in all games since) (also in
)
- Execute a string of VScript source code in the scope of the entity receiving the input. String quotation may be needed when fired via console.
CallScriptFunction
<string> (in all games since) (also in
) !FGD
- Calls a VScript function defined in the scope of the receiving entity.
TerminateScriptScope
(only in) !FGD
- Destroys the script scope of the receiving entity.
SetLocalOrigin
<coordinates> (in all games since) !FGD
- Send this entity to a spot in the map. If the entity is parented to something, it will be offset from the parent by this amount.
Outputs
Base:
OnUser1
toOnUser4
- These outputs each fire in response to the firing of the like-numbered FireUser1 to FireUser4 Input; see User Inputs and Outputs.
