Black Mesa

edit

misc_dead_hev is a model entity available in Black Mesa.

It is a dead HEV scientist. The suit will periodically flash a light and play a sound, attracting the player, then giving the player's suit charge when they make contact with it.

Tip:If you want to prevent this entity from giving the player charge or to give a different amount from the standard value, run the sk_dead_hev_battery_value ##, with whatever value you would like, or 0 to disable.

Note:Model hev_male_xen has skins that change the text for sign on the back (the text is names of the game developers).

Bug:

• Ragdoll's gibs do not gib before save load since the first Steam version.
  Todo: what does this even mean?
• Original models use blood overlay for hands, because of this, when player’s hands get blood overlay - dead hev scientists will get the same blood overlay. Happens in singleplayer and multiplayer.
• Crowbar's raycast skip/ignore server side ragdolls since the first Steam version.
• In multiplayer of Black Mesa, ragdolls does not create hole decals and blood from bullets if [4] Debris spawnflag is enabled. If this flag is disabled - ragdolls still will not create blood effects and hand blood overlays.
• Tripmines do not gib ragdolls.
• The ping sprite often renders through world geometry and the model if a dead scientist HEV is visible in the PVS.
