info_player_equip

info_player_equip is a point entity available in Synergy. It manages the players' equipment.

Entity description

Entity that will give players any equipment specified by it's key values (in the form of 'entity_classname' 'number_of_items'). This entity replaces the functionality of the game_player_equip. The Enabled/Disabled states control whether or not players will spawn with its contents, they can still receive it with EquipPlayer and EquipAllPlayers Inputs, however.

Tip:One instance of this entity can be used as the 'base' equipment -- the starting equipment when the level begins. Other instances can be Enabled to include other items found later in the level.
