What is kill_target? Created 20 years ago2004-08-16 11:15:17 UTC by major_righteous

What is kill target? and how can you use it in mapping?

It can kill certain entities. For example, its like a visible beam being turned off. Instead of turning it off, you actually delete the env_beam from the game. Kill_target means deleting, and there is no way to get the deleted entity back in game.

For instance, if you make something killtarget a func_ladder, itll not be climbable anymore, simply cause its not there. pretty usefull in some situations.

MuzzleFlash explained that very well.
Just one addition: Don't think of it as 'killing'. Killtargeting a monster will not kill it, the monster will play no dying animation, it'll just be removed from the game like every other entity type.

An entity often used for this field is the trigger_relay. You target the _relay, and set its 'killtarget' field to the entity you want to remove. Can be slightly buggy sometimes though.
