point_hurt
is a point entity available in all Source games. It does damage to all entities in a radius around itself, with a specified delay. If 'Target Entity' is specified: the damage is only done to that entity, and radius is ignored. You will need to create a brush and then move that to an entity.
Note:This entity can be parented, although by default it is missing the
parent
keyvalue from Valve's FGDs.Note:Victims of this entity will see it as the Inflictor and will see the
!activator
as the Attacker.Contents
Flags
- Start Active : [
1
] - Bypass ÜberCharge : [
2
] (only in ) !FGD
Allows the damage to bypass Medic's ÜberCharge.
Keyvalues
- Name
(targetname)
<string> - The name that other entities refer to this entity by, via Inputs/Outputs or other keyvalues (e.g.
parentname
ortarget
).
Also displayed in Hammer's 2D views and Entity Report.See also: Generic Keyvalues, Inputs and Outputs available to all entities
- Target Entity
(DamageTarget)
<string> - If specified, only this DamageTarget will take damage. Otherwise, all entities within the Radius will take damage. Evaluated when used.
!activator
accepted. - Radius
(DamageRadius)
<float> - All entities within this radius of this entity will take damage. If a
Target Entity
is specified, only that entity will take damage.
Warning:Radius values ≤ 0 are changed to 128 automatically when this entity spawns.
- Damage
(Damage)
<integer> - Damage done to all affected entities each time this entity fires.
Note:The specified amount of damage will be halved. Consider multiplying your amount of damage by 2 and using it as the Value.
Note: It is possible that unlike
trigger_hurt
, point_hurt does not halve the damage for the reason of the damage being the damage per second, as you can manually edit the amount of time between triggers. Damage type CRUSH should ignore armor, and GENERIC is known to halve when dealing with armored players.Warning:Damage values ≤ 0 are changed to +2 automatically when this entity spawns.
A workaround might be to change it later using AddOutput. (in ) But there are also games where negative Damage values of this entity result in no damage anyway. (in )
