logic_auto
is a point entity available in all Source 2 games. It fires outputs immediately after a map loads, unlike most other entities that wait for input first. It can be set to check a global state before firing, which allows you to fire events based on what took place in a previous map.
Warning:Attempting to directly access or modify the player may cause Access Violation errors, because the outputs are fired before the player has spawned. Adding a slight time delay may overcome this.
Note:In Counter-Strike 2 when a map loads and when the round is reset (including resets for warmup and resets in any other game mode), this entity fires the 3 outputs
OnNewGame
/OnBackgroundMap
(exactly one of these, see below), OnMapSpawn
and OnMultiNewMap
in this order.Keyvalues
- Name (targetname) <string>
- The name that other entities refer to this entity by, via Inputs/Outputs or other keyvalues (e.g.
parentname
ortarget
).

- Global State to Read (globalstate) <choices>
- If set, this specifies a global state to check before firing. Outputs are only fired if this global state exists and if it is turned on. Note:Valve's FGDs always include the Half-Life 2 global states here, but any value can be entered. See env_global for a list of default global states in each game.
