weapon_healthshot

Viewmodel of the MediShot. It shares the same model as the Adrenaline Shot from Left 4 Dead 2 with a modified texture.

weapon_healthshot is a point entity available in the following Source games or engine branches:
Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and  Counter-Strike 2.

Entity Description

The MediShot (as referred to by the tablet in Danger Zone) was added in 2016 as part of the Operation Wildfire update, originally for the Co-op Strike game mode.

It appears in the aforementioned Co-op Strike missions, in Danger Zone as starting equipment, occasional drop or tablet purchase for $1000 and in Deathmatch and Arms Race when making a number of consecutive kills in one life.

When used, the player will stab themselves with the syringe in the right chest, emitting a unique sound and consuming the healthshot. By default, 50 HP will be restored over 2.5 seconds. While the healing is taking place, the screen warps around the edges and a blue border gradually fades in and out.

Obviously, the MediShot is more useful while not in an engagement, as if you attempt to use it in the middle of combat, an enemy could catch you with no weapon.

This weapon's reserve ammo stands for the number of MediShots that a player has. Its primary ammo has no effect and should therefore be -1 to hide the UI ammo numbers.

Related Console Variables

The default values refer to the configs csgo/cfg/gamemode_armsrace.cfg, _deathmatch.cfg, _survival.cfg and the default value when launching the game.

KeyValues

CS:GO / CS2 Weapon:

Is this weapon allowed to be picked up? (CanBePickedUp) <boolean> (in all games since )

Determines if players are able to pick up the weapon.

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:Entities transition to the next map with their parents

Tip: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: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.

Note: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.

Entity Scripts (vscripts) <scriptlist> (in all games since ) (also in )

Space delimited list of VScript files (without file extension) that are executed after all entities have spawned. The scripts are all executed in the same script scope, later ones overwriting any identical variables and functions. Scripts executed on the worldspawn entity will be placed in root scope.

Think function (thinkfunction) <string> (in all games since ) (also in )

Name of the function within this entity's script that'll be called automatically every 100 milliseconds, or a user-defined interval if the function returns a number. Avoid expensive operations in this function, as it may cause performance problems.

Lag Compensation (LagCompensate) <boolean> (in all games since ) !FGD

Set to Yes to lag compensate this entity. Should be used very sparingly!

Is Automatic-Aim Target (is_autoaim_target) <boolean> (in all games since ) !FGD

If set to 1, this entity will slow down aiming movement for consoles and joystick controllers when the entity is under the crosshairs.

BaseAnimating:

World Model (model) <string>

The model this entity should appear as. 128-character limit.

Skin (skin or ModelSkin ) <integer>

Some models have multiple skins. This value selects from the index, starting with 0.

Collisions (solid) <choices>

Method of collision for this entity.

• 0: None
• 1: BSP (QPhysics) !FGD
• 2: Bounding Box
• 3: Oriented Bounding Box (Use for runtime spawned rotated brush entities) !FGD
• 4: Oriented Bounding Box, constrained to Yaw only !FGD
• 5: Custom/Test (Usually no collision with anything) !FGD
• 6: VPhysics

Hitbox Set (hitboxset) <string> !FGD

Sets the $hboxset to use.

Body Group (body or SetBodyGroup) <integer> !FGD

Sets the the active $bodygroup.

Model Index (modelindex) <short> !FGD

Given the number index from dumping the cl_precacheinfo modelprecache table, sets entity model to the index.

Warning:If an entity has animations that will be played, then the set model also must have its own sequences, else the game crashes.

Model Scale (modelscale) <float> (in all games since )

A multiplier for the size of the model. Negative values are accepted. Does not alter the physics collisions in most cases, however.

Warning:Negative or extremely high values can cause crashes!

Note:Scale may not appear in Hammer 4.x, but will appear in-game (tested in ). This is fixed in Hammer++.

DXLevelChoice:

Minimum DX Level (mindxlevel) <choices> (removed since )

The entity will not exist if the engine is running outside the given range of DirectX Versions.

Warning:If these are used, the object may break when the user switches their DirectX settings.

Maximum DX Level (maxdxlevel) <choices> (removed since )

• Default (no bounding)
• DX7
• DX8
• DX8.1
• DX9 SM2
• DX9 SM3

Animating

Sequence (sequence) <integer> !FGD

Texture Frame (texframeindex) <integer> !FGD

The initial frame number for all animated textures on this entity.

Effects - Render

Start Fade Distance (fademindist) <float>

Distance at which the entity starts fading. If 0 or less, the entity will disappear instantly when end fade is hit. The value will scale appropriately if the entity is in a 3D Skybox.

End Fade Distance (fademaxdist) <float>

Distance at which the entity ends fading. If 0 or less, the entity won't disappear at all. The value will scale appropriately if the entity is in a 3D Skybox.

Fade Scale (fadescale) <float>

If specified in the worldspawn, or if the engine is running below DirectX 8, entities will fade out even if the fade distances above aren't specified. This value gives more control over when this happens: numbers smaller than 1 cause the entity to fade out at further distances, and greater than 1 cause it to fade out at closer distances. Using 0 turns off the forced fade altogether. See also $noforcedfade.

FX Amount/Transparency (0–255) (renderamt) <integer>

Transparency amount, requires a Render Mode other than Normal. 0 is invisible, 255 is fully visible.

Render Color (R G B) (rendercolor) <color255>

Inputs

CS:GO / CS2 Weapon:

SetAmmoAmount <integer> (in all games since )

For guns, sets the number of bullets in the active magazine. Does nothing for grenades.
Every value behaves like its congruent value in the range 0-255 in modulus 256 (e.g. -255 and 257 behave like 1 etc.). When set to 0, the owner may start reloading automatically, if possible. Other values congruent to 0 (-256, 256, 512, ...) might cause undefined behavior. Values congruent to -1 (mod 256) make the ammo numbers disappear. If set to a value outside the weapon's clip size, reloading might deliver unexpected results.
Behaves like SetClipPrimary.

SetReserveAmmoAmount <integer> (in all games since )

For guns, sets the number of bullets in reserve for reloading, clamping at the weapon's maximum (e.g. 90 for the weapon_ak47).
For grenades, sets their count, clamping at the current maximum depending on the convars ammo_grenade_limit_*; When setting to 0 or below while holding the grenade, the player no longer owns any, but the viewmodel stays.
Negative values make a gun's ammo display disappear and reloading is impossible.
Negative values are clamped to 0 for guns.

ToggleCanBePickedUp <boolean> (in all games since )

Toggles whether the weapon can be picked up by players. Visually, nothing changes and there is no event if picking up fails. Hover texts like "[E] Swap for AK-47" remain in both cases.

SetClipPrimary <integer> (only in )

For guns, sets the number of bullets in the active magazine, clamping between 0 and its clip size; When setting to 0, the owner may start reloading automatically.
Does nothing for grenades.

SetClipSecondary <integer> (only in )

Bug:Does nothing. SetReserveAmmoAmount works.

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 ) !FGD

Dispatches a special effect from the entity's origin; see also List of Client Effects. Replaced by the particle system since .

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.

Bug:In Hammer, using string arguments will corrupt the VMF file's structure, making the file unviewable for the next Hammer session.

Fix:Remove the string argument manually with a text editor.

Note: Backtick characters ` are replaced with quotation marks at runtime, allowing quotation marks to be used when normally not possible.

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 receving entity.
