The syringe model.

The syringe model used for weapon_syringe.

item_syringe is a model entity available in  Black Mesa. It's a scientist's syringe, which he/she can use to heal a player with low health (25 or less by default). Not used as a physics prop due to the unstable physics of the model, the model is also quite deprecated and may be replaced if weapon_syringe were to appear in the game (the bottom right picture shows how it looks).

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 ).
• Doesn't play any pickup sound.
• Doesn't display HUD icon at right side.
