trigger_counter - Brush Entity

This is the original way to have a 'counter' of sorts, with limited abilities. The newer game_counter entity is more capable, and you probably want to use that instead.
This entity counts the number of times it is triggered and activates its target when it reaches a specified number. A weird entity in its execution: A brush trigger entity that doesn't respond to touch, but instead only to it being triggered like a point entity.

Attributes

  • Targetname of teamcheck goal (teamcheck) - Using this in conjunction with an info_tf_teamcheck allows you to switch the entity's team allegiance when the info_tf_teamcheck changes its team setting. The team_no property must be set to Any (0) if you use this value.
  • Has item # (items_allowed) - The player must be carrying this item to use this entity. Set 0 to ignore this criterion.
  • Hasn't item from group # (hasnt_item_from_group) - To use this entity, the player must not be carrying any item from this group. Set 0 to ignore this criterion.
  • If item # has moved (if_item_has_moved) - A player can only use the entity if this item is not in its original spawn location. Set 0 to ignore this criterion.

  • If group # removed (if_group_is_removed) - A player can only use the entity if all the goals in this group are in the removed state. Set 0 to ignore this criterion.

[list]
[li]0 = Disabled
  • 1 = Blue
  • 2 = Red
  • 3 = Yellow

  • 2 = Red
  • 3 = Yellow
  • 4 = Green[/li]

[li]Remove item from APA (axhitme) - The Item # of an item_tfgoal entity. When the entity is activated, if the Activating Player is carrying the specified item, it will be removed from him. What happens to it then is determined by the Goal Activation property of the item.[/li]
[li]Master (master) - The name of a multisource (or game_team_master) entity. A master must usually be active in order for the entity to work. Thus they act almost like an on/off switch, in their simplest form, and like an AND gate in the case of the multisource.[/li]

Between 1.0.0.0 and 1.0.0.9 when the game_* entities were added, this entity is the only entity available for counting. Therefore, it's NOT just a "debug" entity, and I've removed that red notice.
