edit

item_suit is a model entity available in Black Mesa. This entity represents the Mark IV Hazardous Environment suit. Picking it up will enable flashlight, running, HUD, armor and the suit voice lines.

Note:By default, all players in multiplayer are in the suit. Can be stripped by player_weaponstrip.

Bug:Stripping suit and giving it again in multiplayer will show weapon's ammo and clip amount, even if the weapon is stripped.

Bug:Stripping suit will not set 0 value for armor. The armor will also reduce damage even after stripping.

Bug:Save reload will disable boot sequence.

Bug:Level transition will break the HUD if boot sequence wasn't finished.

Note:Most objects that inherit class CBasePickup in Black Mesa have the following features:

• They're VPhysics objects (disabled in multiplayer mode).
• Respawn in multiplayer mode (item_weapon_ entities creating xen portal effects as well).
• No physics and collision in multiplayer.
• Model can be changed to your own via the parameter (which is not in the FGD by default, added in Enhanced Black Mesa FGD).

Bug:Doesn't collide with other CBasePickup and weapon_ entities (not in ).

Important:The boot sequence works only if map called bm_c1a0a. This is a hardcoded feature.
