prop_monster_box
is a point entity available in Portal 2.
It is a "Frankenturret", the result of welding together two turrets and one weighted storage cube. While it can't attack, it can still move on its own under certain conditions. When they press floor buttons, they will switch into the box state.
Bug:If painted, Frankenturrets will not bounce around, slide or otherwise be affected by the gel. Players and other physics objects can be launched by bounce-gelled Frankenturrets. [todo tested in?]
Bug:Due to limitations of the viewmodel grabbing system, picking up frankenturrets in co-op causes them to freeze in a default pose and lose all their face plates. They return to normal when dropped. [todo tested in?]
