trigger_weapon_dissolve is a brush entity available in the Half-Life 2 series.

Entity description

A brush entity trigger that dissolves weapons forcefully dropped by trigger_weapon_strip within its volume. It is used by the Confiscation Field in both Half-Life 2 and Episode One to dissolve all the player's weapons except the Gravity Gun, supercharging it instead.

For proper functionality, both brush entities must be used.

This entity in Half-Life 2: Deathmatch cannot start it's supercharging sequence of the Gravity Gun, as the gun removes itself even when dropped by trigger_weapon_strip.

Icon-Bug.pngBug:The game will crash if a weapon targeted for dissolving by this entity is removed by other means.


In code, it is represented by theCTriggerWeaponDissolveclass, defined in thehl2_dll\hl2_triggers.cppfile.
