asw_env_explosion

asw_env_explosion is a point entity available in Alien Swarm.

Entity description

An entity that creates an explosion at its origin. Identical to env_explosion, except it has more features in use with Alien Swarm.

One significant difference between this explosion entity and the normal env_explosion is the look and sound of the explosion. The asw_env_explosion produces a "heat ripple" look, has a larger fireball, and the blast sound is "wetter".

Keyvalues

Damage ([todo internal name (i)]) <integer>

The amount of damage done by the explosion.

Radius Override ([todo internal name (i)]) <integer>

If specified, the radius in which the explosion damages entities. If unspecified, the radius will be based on the magnitude. (doesn't affect the fireball effect, yet)

Explosion Sound ([todo internal name (i)]) <sound>

Choose what sound to play when the explosion happens. If you don't want a sound to play, click the No Sound flag.

Ignored Entity ([todo internal name (i)]) <targetname>

Do not harm or affect the named entity.

Name (targetname) <string>

The name that other entities refer to this entity by, via Inputs/Outputs or other keyvalues (e.g. parentname or target).
Also displayed in Hammer's 2D views and Entity Report.
