Special Entity Names Last edited 11 months ago2024-01-19 00:51:04 UTC

In Half-Life, there is a set of special entity names that, if given to an entity, will cause it to be automatically triggered by certain game events involving the player(s). Note that these only function in multiplayer. Though intended for multiplayer, it does work in singleplayer to a certain extent. The game triggers these named entities on behalf of the player i.e. with the player involved as the activator. Be aware that certain entities take effect only on the activator or be made to do so (e.g. game_text; the text is displayed only to the activator).
