env_grass_sprite

Jump to: navigation, search

env_grass_sprite is a point entity available in Paranoia Paranoia. Which creates random grass sprites. The installation of the automatically scattered grass on the map involves the usage of a point entity called env_grass_sprite. The location where the entity will be placed holds the same importance as the rain_settings. Imagine that the grass initially appears at the same height as the env_grass_sprite entity and then appears to fall to the ground. Therefore, it is recommended to place these entities somewhere in the sky to ensure that they are positioned above the entire ground.

Note.pngNote:It is necessary to specify the names of the textures on which this sprite can "grow".

To do this, disable SmartEdit and add new keys, where the key name is the name of the texture (all lowercase letters) and the value of the key is any number. Additional keys (i.e. textures) can have a maximum of eight.
