Most entities capable of inflicting damage have a "Kill Description" keyvalue. This determines what the entity is called if it kills a scientist. The usual string for this is like "Walter was killed by xxxx" where xxxx would be the kill description. Each entity has a default if it is left blank. The string may look different depending on what kind of damage the entity does. For example func_doors will say crushed and info_shootpoints will say shot.
Special case is the trigger_hurt. Since it isn't really an object of substance, it cannot simply define what it is. From the players perspective it doesn't even exist, it is simply an effect of some event that causes damage. You can type any message as to what happened to the scientist. By default the scientist name is placed in front of the killdesc string, with a space in between (ie. Walter xxxx), however if you put a "%s" into the string, then that will be replaced with the scientist name instead (for example if the string is "The devil ate %s", the death message would be "The devil ate Walter").
For any entity with a "Master" value, if you put a ! infront of the master targetname, then the master relationship will be inverted. The entity will work when the master is off and gets disabled when the master is turned on.
Using the command fire "targetname", where targetname is the name of the entity to trigger (no quotes), allows you to trigger entities from the console. Very useful for testing effects. Examle: to fire a func_train named crusher type:
fire crusher
This title will show on the scoreboard in place of the BSP name if specified.Global gravity level (sv_gravity), for the level. 800 units/second is normal gravity. Unlike trigger_gravity, this affects everything. Note that this is a multiplier so the values are the same as the trigger_gravity, 0 is no gravity, 1 is 800 u/s.
Randomly change the width by this much. This is a multiplier. 0 is a stable beam, 1 randomizes from 0-200%.
This entity creates an array of identical beams (up to 16). Each beam has the properties of a beam_cannon.
This entity isn't actually a turret. It's an intangible entity that can control and aim a beam_cannon. The beam is aimed as if it was at the location of the beam_turret, but fired from the beam_cannon location, so if they are not the same, the beam is likely to miss.
The beam appearence parameters are just like any beam entity (beam_cannon, env_beam, env_laser)
Toggles fog effect. Notice that the sky won't be drawn if fog is on, it is replaced with the fog color.
A general-purpose particle volume. Most useful as rain effect.
Renderamt & rendercolor is set instantly, even if fade speed is set. Obviously using both is useless.Normally, renderfx & rendermode are set before the fade starts, with these it will set them after.Place 0 here to make the gibshooter toggleable. Once turned on it will spew stuff until turned off again.This new spawnflag will make the sprite animation run backwards.This entity creates a teleport effect. It includes a sprite animation, dynamic light and bolts of energy in random directions with an optional particle effect. Note that if you need to have the effect without a sprite, just use an additive sprite and set the renderamt to 0. The length of the sprite animation determines the length of the effect.
The volcano entity was a little trinket I coded for level 4. It's essentially a gibshooter that shoots exploding volcano boulders and fireballs.
Upgraded version of func_breakable. Most settings are the same.
With this checked, the door will not reverse if it is blocked by someone.With this checked, the door will not reverse if it is blocked by someone.Upgraded version of func_pushable. Most settings are the same.
The shield entity can be used for several forcefield effects. It can also be used as a damage inflicting solid by using normal rendermode.
A func_turret is most typically used as a gun turret. It is like a func_tank with no firing code. You can't make it shoot by itself. To make it fire, you use an info_shootpoint. These intangible, linked point entities define where the turret shoots from. One turret can control any number of shootpoints of any type.This is a func_turret variation for auto-targeting ballistic weapons. Doesn't seem to work yet.
Original design for a switch-operated turret as seen in level 2. Never used since. The system is somewhat clumsy and unintuitive. It could probably be emulated much better using entity_links.
This will now always work in single-player. In HL it had to be triggered, but in SSH it will give the player the stuff all by itself. Unless you tick "Use only" of course.
This will now work in SSH. It adds points to the "Total" section on the killboard and will also send a death message if desired.
A trigger_camera lookalike. This camera entity tracks a target. Alternatively you can link it to something. It does not end the camera run on a timer, but instead will discontinue when the player moves. Useful as a security camera or something.
Makes laser spots. Very useful when used with info_shootpoint_rocket and laser guided rockets
An intangible, linked point entity that shoots bullets. These are typically linked to a func_turret, and used to make it shoot. However, there is no specific need to link this to a turret. You can link one to a door knob for all I care, or leave it unlinked. Anywhere you want bullets to come from, place one of these.
An intangible, linked point entity that shoots crossbow bolts. NOTE: Not tested.
An intangible, linked point entity that aligns and controls a beam_cannon. This performs the task of a beam shootpoint, even though it doesn't actually create the beam. Most values here are ignored since the appearance and damage infliction is defined in the beam_cannon.
An intangible, linked point entity that shoots artillery shells.
An intangible, linked point entity that shoots a flamethrower. Note that most of these parameters are ignored due to the way the flamethrowers are implemented.
An intangible, linked point entity that shoots grenades. This has not been tested
An intangible, linked point entity that shoots hornets. This has not been tested
An intangible, linked point entity that shoots pulse lasers.
An intangible, linked point entity that shoots rockets or missiles.NOTE: This no longer makes a laserspot. Use an info_laserspot for that.
This doesn't actually do anything, it was added to the FGD because the beam_multi can use it to determine the beam end point.
Brush version of info-target that reports a random point in its volume as the target point when requested. This is meant to be used by the func_turret as a target in "Random mode".
info_target with built-in entity linkage.
Since the player now always has a HEV suit, the suit entity gives +100 health and armor instead.
Sets the color of hornets fired by the grunt's hivehand.
Nephilim Alliance modified Alien Grunt
Nephilim Alliance modified Alien Slave

Sets the type of missiles the apache carries.
Nephilim Alliance duplication of the apache helicopter
Sets barneys weapon.
Barney shoots player without provocation.
Barney shoots scientists.
Doesn't drop the gun when he dies.
You can now safely leave this blank. In HL it would not properly set the health if it had no nodes but now it does. Default is 500-1000 health depending on difficulty setting.This crane entity picks up and transports entities along a path_corner path. You need at least one "wait for retrigger" and one "teleport" path_corner in the path. The crane moves along the path until it encounters a "wait for retrigger". It will then wait at that position, checking the ground underneath the position of the next "teleport" node. When an entity is on the ground under the "teleport" path_corner, the crane will start to move again. It will try to pick up the entity at the "teleport" node. It will then move along the path until "wait for retrigger" is encountered, at which point it will drop the entity and wait until it detects another.

Pop-up flak cannon.
The Briefcase has an NA logo.
NOTE: This list doesn't contain the grenade warhead types anymore since there are way too many combinations. See the monstermaker weapon list to see what numbers to put here to get them (or use random).

How far the turret can target. Default 1200.
Nothing will kill it.
Osprey that works like a plane and not a func_train.
Osprey that drops bombs.
Barneys fat coworker.
Pop-up repulsor turret.
Sci is always afraid of player. Doesn't seem to work properly yet.
Custom animation sequence. The first frame will be used as the pose for the sci.
The same sniper box that's buildable with the sniper rifle. Obviously if map-placed then they will also shoot down the player's weapons.
A pop-up pulse cannon turret
This is a tesla coil like in C&C Red Alert
Level 1 sentrygun from TFC.
Level 2 sentrygun from TFC.
Level 3 sentrygun from TFC.
This one entity now has all the zombies in it. The old zombie entities do still exist as aliases so maps that used them will work with the new version, but they don't appear here or in the fgd anymore.
This will be set as the "target" keyvalue of the monsters. Useful if you want them to follow a path.
Weapons for the monsters that have a choice.
Put a number above zero here to change the monsters health.
Barney will shoot scis.
Scis/barneys will fear/shoot player.
Monster never attacks player.
Monsters that would normally drop their gun, won't if this is ticked.
Like monstermaker, but makes monster_generics with the specified model.
Gib fade trigger. Any gib that touches this while active will instantly begin to fade.
This will no longer "skip" immobile monsters (yes, it was accomplished with a gross hack that appears to be causing some side effects).
The trigger_hurt will never gib monsters.
The trigger_hurt will always gib monsters.
A loop-trigger to replace those uncomfortable self-triggering multimanagers. This will trigger its targets at set intervals (including random), and can be triggered on and off itself.
This is like the trigger_auto, but only triggers after a level transition. The target also depends on the level the player came from.
This is a random event generator. When triggered, it will randomly select 1-16 entities with the right targetname and trigger them.
Since 0.8, if you have more than 1 "target" entity, it will randomly pick one each time someone teleports instead of using the first one always.
This target will get triggered when someone teleports. A good place to put an effect.
Universal Entity Multilinker. Yep, this one will bind any 2 entities together. The only minor exception is beams, which can only be position-linked, not angle-linked but thats what the info_shootpoint_beam is for. Of course, there are a lot of entities which just aren't worth linking.Minimum time between announcements.
Maximum time between announcements.
Plays the announcements all around the level.
Place 0 here to make the gibshooter toggleable. Once turned on it will spew stuff until turned off again. Gibshooter shoots alien gibs.
This is a master entity (goes into the "Master" keyvalue of other entites). It returns on or off depending on the parameters of the entity that activated it. For example, if a player presses a button with this as a master, it will compare the players entity information to the values defined here. If they match, the master returns on (this is used in level 21 to get that trigger_push that only affects water elementals). You can also use it as a kind of trigger relay. If you trigger it, it will trigger its target if the activator matches the parameters. This will save you from having to use it as a master for a separate relay entity.
