monster_furniture - Point Entity

Used in scripted sequences (scripted_sequence and aiscripted_sequence) involving furniture models.

Attributes

• Name (targetname) - Property used to identify entities.
• Pitch Yaw Roll (Y Z X) (angles) - Sets the pitch (up / down), yaw (left / right) and roll (bank) respectively. The compass in WorldCraft / Hammer / J.A.C.K. corresponds to Yaw. Monsters will spawn facing this direction.
• Patrol Path or Target (target) - Name of a path_corner that the monster entity would start patrolling. Very similar to func_train but with models (and without func_train's features). See notes.

• Render FX (renderfx) - Gives objects special render effects. Think of it as modifying whatever the Render Mode puts out. The options are as follows:
  • 0 = Normal
  • 1 = Slow Pulse
  • 2 = Fast Pulse
  • 3 = Slow Wide Pulse
  • 4 = Fast Wide Pulse
  • 5 = Slow Fade Away
  • 6 = Fast Fade Away
  • 7 = Slow Become Solid
  • 8 = Fast Become Solid
  • 9 = Slow Strobe
  • 10 = Fast Strobe
  • 11 = Faster Strobe
  • 12 = Slow Flicker
  • 13 = Fast Flicker
  • 14 = Constant Glow
  • 15 = Distort
  • 16 = Hologram (Distort and Fade)
• Render Mode (rendermode) - Controls the type of rendering that is used for an object. Options are:
  • 0 = Normal
  • 1 = Color
  • 2 = Texture
  • 3 = Glow
  • 4 = Solid
  • 5 = Additive
• FX Amount (0 - 255) (renderamt)
• FX Color (R G B) (rendercolor)

• Trigger Target (TriggerTarget) - The event to trigger when the Trigger Condition is met. Used by monsters.
• Trigger Condition (TriggerCondition) - This controls the condition under which a monster will trigger its Trigger Target. The options are:
  • 0 = No Trigger
  • 1 = See Player, Mad at Player
  • 2 = Take Damage
  • 3 = 50% Health Remaining
  • 4 = Death
  • 7 = Hear World
  • 8 = Hear Player
  • 9 = Hear Combat
  • 10 = See Player Unconditional
  • 11 = See Player, Not In Combat

• Animation Sequence (editor) (sequence)
• Model (model) - Sets the path to the furniture model. Paths are relative to the game/mod folder. Example: models/forklift.mdl.
• Body (body) - [undocumented] Select model bodygroup combination.
• Skin (skin) - [undocumented] Select model skin.

Flags

• WaitTillSeen (1)
• Gag (2)
• MonsterClip (4)
• Prisoner (16)
• WaitForScript (128)
• Pre-Disaster (256)
• Fade Corpse (512)

Notes

• Not solid, but still bleeds like a cycler when hit with explosion damage.
• Won't render if origin is inside solids.
• Can still get stuck (and show yellow orbs) if the entity's origin is inside solids.
• At spawn, all sequences, entity effects, and frame information that you may have added to the entity in the level editor is reset, so you should use scripted_sequence to set them up properly. Just setting Idle Animation should suffice.
• If the model has one or more sequences with ACT_IDLE, it would switch to them at spawn (and follow the ACTs' set weightages.) Will also return to ACT_IDLE after finishing a scripted_sequence unless the action sequence has a event 1000 to mark it as dead, just like NPCs.
• monster_furniture can follow path_corners, but only if the model has walking ACTs. It also stutters, doesn't turn to face forward, nor do any of the things a func_train can do e.g. teleport, wait, and fire the path's "fire on pass".
