multisource is a point entity available in all Source games.

Deprecated entity from GoldSrc, only used in Half Life: Source, deprecated by logic_branch_listener in Source.

This entity is the only entity that can be used as a master. (Entities that specify a master cannot be enabled unless their master is enabled.)

Global State Master (globalstate) <string>

Inputs

Use

Multisource contains a list of all entities that are targetting it (i.e. target keyvalue of an entity is set to targetname of the multisource) and a state ON/OFF for each entity in the list. If an entity from the list is caller of this input the state is toggled. If all states are ON then OnTrigger output is fired.

Bug:If a caller of this input is not in the list, the game is supposed to print warning in console and ignore the input but instead it toggles the state of last entity in the list  (tested in: l4d2 and checked sdk2013 source code)

Outputs

OnTrigger

When Use input is successful
