weapon_gauss is a point entity available in Half-Life, Half-Life: Opposing Force, and Half-Life: Blue Shift. The Tau Cannon fires beams of Tau particles. The weapon has two different fire modes. The first shoots tau particles semi-automatically, visible as yellow beams in the air. The alt-fire mode charges up the weapon to fire more powerful white-hot beams. This can be replenished by ammo_gaussclip.

Entity to remove when activated.

Pitch Yaw Roll (Y Z X) (angles) <angle>

Flags

Not In Deathmatch : [2048]

Prevent this entity from attempting to spawn when deathmatch (multiplayer) is enabled.

Tip:This is intercepted before the entity spawns (hardcoded in the engine), and as such prevents it from ever contributing to the edict limit. As such, it may be desirable to set this on entities that delete themselves in multiplayer anyway, such as monsters and info_null, to prevent them from contributing towards map spawn edict limit crashes on maps with lots of entities.
