Adding weapons to a map
- 1. Making point entity with Classname weapon_... (For example: weapon_ak47, weapon_portalgun...)
- 2. Set you need keyvalues (For example:targetname, rendermode...)
You first weapon is done!
Dynamic Spawns
Using env_entity_maker, logic_relay, and point_template you can spawn weapons into the map.
Example
- weapon_shotgun named "spawnedweapon"
- point_template named "weapontemplate" with "template01" set to "spawnedweapon".
- env_entity_maker "weapontemplate" as entitytemplate.
- logic_relay to call
forcespawnon env_entity_maker to spawn in weapon.
Depending on need, you can use Flags "Start constrained" or "Deny player pickup" to control weapon after spawning.
Customizing Weapons
With the entity point_clientcommand and sv_cheats 1 you can modify parameters for weapons. (ex: "sk_plr_dmg_pistol 100")
This can also be done with weapon scripts. See Changing clip sizes.
