item_airtank - Point Entity

Spawns an air tank. When a player touches it, his oxygen is replenished to the maximum (12 seconds) and a sound cue similar to Xen's jump pad is played. There is a 30 seconds recharge time before being able to use it again.

Attributes

• Target (target) - Trigger this target both when used and when it recharges.
• Delay before trigger (delay) - Usually the time in seconds before an entity should trigger its target (after being triggered/touched itself).
• KillTarget (killtarget) - Remove this entity from the game when the airtank is triggered (touched).
• Name (targetname) - Name is a general attribute used to identify entities.
• Pitch Yaw Roll (Y Z X) (angles) - Changes the rotational position of the item.

Flags

• Not in Deathmatch (2048) - If enabled, the entity will not be present in a deathmatch game.

Notes

• Doesn't recover any health drops suffered as a result of drowning, it just stops you from further drowning.
• Looking at the code in the Half-Life SDK, the air tank isn't really an item but a grenade. It won't inherit all the same traits as common items.
  • It will not fall on the ground like the common items.
  • It can take damage and has 20 HP on all skill levels.
  • Because it can take damage, there is a bounding box collision whose size is 32, 32, 36 on the X, Y and Z axis respectively.
  • It will explode with a damage of value of 50 upon "killing it" on all skill levels. The explosion will make the same effects as any other kind of explosive.
  • It will remember the "killer" and can impact the game such as provoking the player's friendly monsters, award or subtract (suicide) a frag in deathmatch games.
