Inputs

TFObject:

SetHealth <integer>

Sets the current and maximum health. If the object is upgraded, the health will scale according to the new value.

Bug:Crashes if set to 0.  [todo tested in?]

AddHealth <integer>

Increase the current health of the object. Does not surpass maximum health. Does not destroy the building if set at 0.

RemoveHealth <integer>

Decrease current health of the object. Destroys the object if the health hits 0.

SetSolidToPlayer <boolean>

Sets the object to be solid or non-solid to players. 0 - non-solid, 1 - solid. !FGD

Note:The builder of the building will always be solid to the object.

SetTeam <integer>

Ses the team the object is allied to. Does not change skin.

Skin <integer>

Sets the skin the object uses. Useful in conjunction with SetTeam.

SetBuilder

Sets the builder of the object to the !activator.

Show

Makes the building visible and re-enables it.

Bug:Does not hide the obj_dispenser screen. A workaround is to fire the SetInactive (or SetActive) on the vgui_screen entity, although it will apply to all buildings.  [todo tested in?]

Enable

Enable the object.

Note:Using Enable after using the Hide input will enable the building and keep it invisible.
