grenade_mortar_small

This entity is not in the FGD by default.
It should not be put directly in a map because it doesn't work properly in Steam versions of the game if not spawned via env_mortar_launcher. It's possible to use it without the entity in mod version of the game, but still easier to launch it with the entity.

grenade_mortar_small is a point entity available in Black Mesa. The grenade entity that used by env_mortar_launcher. This is a mortar shell that was used as an airstrike bomb.

This game also have grenade_mortar_large, the only difference is the particle effects from explosion. Both are using same inputs, outputs and console variables.

Most inputs and outputs are same as CBaseAnimating.

AltNames: This entity is also tied to grenade_mortar.

Bug:This entity is not functional if created via ent_create grenade_mortar_small in Steam versions of the game.

Bug:It bounce of dynamic (not physics) objects, such as prop_dynamic. Usually happens with objects that have a dynamic collision, or objects that are in motion.

Example.

Here it bounce of this metal door. The door is prop_dynamic with dynamic collision (required for animations). Note how the particle trail looks like and note the position of the grenade.

(not in )
