monster_osprey - Point Entity

The V-22 Osprey tiltrotor aircraft is used by the HECU for rapid troop transportation. They often circle around a hotspot area, occasionally replenishing casualties on the ground by letting soldiers rappel down. The Osprey itself is unarmed, but the constant reinforcements and the fact that only the cockpit and engines are vulnerable to small arms fire make it difficult to bring down unless the player is equipped with an RPG or other heavy weapon.

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.
• Target (target) - The Osprey's first path_corner.

• 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)

Flags

• WaitTillSeen (1) - Stands in place until seen by a player.
• Gag (2) - Makes no idle sounds.
• MonsterClip (4) - Makes func_monsterclip solid/impassable to this monster.
• Prisoner (16) - Won't attack, or be attacked by, other monsters.
• Start Inactive (64) - Requires the Osprey to be triggered to start.
• WaitForScript (128) - Does nothing, not implemented.
• Pre-Disaster (256) - For some NPCs, switch to pre-disaster dialogues and behaviour (busy and won't follow players).
• Fade Corpse (512)

Notes

• target needs to point to a path_corner which targets other path_corners forming a cyclic route, otherwise, the game will crash.
• Needs at least one monster_human_grunt in the level (or monster_grunt_repel [check?]) to resupply, otherwise, the Osprey will despawn.
• Not affected by func_monsterclip, and can pass through CLIP and SKY brushes.
• Can spawn in deathmatch.
• An Osprey can track and replace up to 24 soldiers (these soldiers will be replaced indefinitely).
• Shots that deal less than 50 damage are only effective when they hit the cockpit or one of the engines, and each engine only takes up to 200 damage before shots become ineffective.
