The three flavors of soft drinks in Black Mesa.

prop_soda is a model entity available in Black Mesa. It's a soda can from a vending machine that adds 1 point of health when picked up. Replaces deprecated item_sodacan entity. Used CBasePickup class in Steam versions of the game as a base class, the mod version uses CPhysicsProp as a base class.

Note:Most objects that inherit class CBasePickup in Black Mesa have the following features:

• They're VPhysics objects (disabled in multiplayer mode).
• Respawn in multiplayer mode (item_weapon_ entities creating xen portal effects as well).
• Model can be changed to your own via the parameter.

Important:No physics and collision in multiplayer, so it can't be used in the same way as in singleplayer. Reenabled in SourceCoop.

Bug:Doesn't collide with other CBasePickup and weapon_ entities (not in ).
