item_ammo_crate is a model entity available in Half-Life 2 series and Black Mesa. This entity places a large crate containing an unlimited supply of a certain type of ammo (specified by Ammo Type). The player can open it as many times as desired, by pressing the +use key (E by default), and get a complete refill of the specified ammo type. Most inputs, outputs and properties are same as CBaseAnimating.

Placement Tip:This entity should not be placed in areas with many opponents, since this crate provides the player with a big advantage against any opponents in the area.

Note:It can be used if it received damage and if player holds weapon_crowbar. This means that a player can open it with the crowbar or with grenades if holding crowbar, distance doesn't matter.
