item_security

item_security is a point entity available in Half-Life.

Description

Spawns a security card. This entity has no "game related behavior" besides storing in the player's inventory but its pickup ability is often used as a way to unlock other kinds of entities (by targeting a multisource which is the master of a door for example). In a deathmatch game, the item respawns 30 seconds after being collected.

Killtarget (killtarget) <targetname>

Entity to remove when activated.

Name (targetname) <string>

The targetname that other entities refer to this entity by.

Pitch Yaw Roll (Y Z X) (angles) <QAngle>

This entity's orientation in the world. Pitch is rotation around the Y axis, yaw is the rotation around the Z axis, roll is the rotation around the X axis.

Flags

Not In Deathmatch : [2048]

Prevent this entity from attempting to spawn when deathmatch (multiplayer) is enabled.

Tip:This is intercepted before the entity spawns (hardcoded in the engine), and as such prevents it from ever contributing to the edict limit. As such, it may be desirable to set this on entities that delete themselves in multiplayer anyway, such as monsters and info_null, to prevent them from contributing towards map spawn edict limit crashes on maps with lots of entities.
