prop_glass_futbol_spawner

In-game screenshot of a prop_glass_futbol_spawner, holding a spawned prop_glass_futbol.

prop_glass_futbol_spawner is a point entity available in Portal 2.

Entity description

Dispenser for glass futbols. This entity is unused in the released game, so it's most likely a remainder of the beta.

This dispenser can spawn highly fragile glass futbols, which can be picked up and thrown around. The futbols can also be put back to the dispenser, if required.

	input  ForceSpawn(void) : "Spawn a futbol."

	output OnFutbolSpawned(void) : "Fired whenever the futbol has been spawned."
	output OnFutbolGrabbed(void) : "Fired whenever the futbol has been grabbed the first time."
	output OnFutbolReleased(void) : "Fired whenever the futbol has been grabbed from or returned to this spawner (not when thrown)."
