func_mortar_field - Brush Entity

This entity is used to define an area that an airstrike is called on.

Attributes

• Name (targetname) - Property used to identify entities.
• Spread Radius (m_flSpread) - Defines the accuracy of the bombardment.
• Repeat Count (m_flCount) - Determines how many bombs will be dropped per strike.
• Targeting (m_flControl)
  • 0 = random - a random point on the area of the entity is selected.
  • 1 = activator - a point closest to where the activator of the entity stood.
  • 2 = table - uses the value of the two defined momentary_rot_buttons below.
• X Controller (m_iszXController) - The name of a momentary_rot_button to provide a relative strike position on the X axis.
• Y Controller (m_iszYController) - The name of a momentary_rot_button to provide a relative strike position on the Y axis.

Flags

• None

Notes

• Using a Targeting value of 0 (random) will simulate a random bombardment.
• Using a Targeting value of 1 (activator) will aim at wherever the activator is standing at the moment of triggering wherever they may be, even outside the physical area under the func_mortar_field entity.
• The X and Y controllers can be used in cases where a table is used to define the strike location (as seen in Half-Life's last Surface Tension map).
