trigger_weapon_dissolve
is a brush entity available in
Half-Life 2,
Half-Life 2: Episode One,
Half-Life 2: Episode Two, and
Half-Life 2: Deathmatch.
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.
Bug:The game will crash if a weapon targeted for dissolving by this entity is removed by other means. [todo tested in ?]
In code, it is represented by theCTriggerWeaponDissolve
class, defined in thehl2_dll\hl2_triggers.cpp
file.
