<h1>Appendix B: Entity Descriptions</h1>
|
|
This Section owes much of the background and testing research to three dedicated Quake Engine editing supporters, <i>Suicide20</i>, <i>inolen</i>, and <i>EuteTic</i>. It is based on version 1.1 (12/22/99) of a document that they created and gave us permission to include with the official id editor documents.

<p>"Keys" are keywords that represent the in-game properties of an
|
|
entity. Some are flags that determine whether an entity will
|
|
appear in a particular game play mode. Others define extents or
|
|
rates for entity movement. Others establish how much of some game
|
|
effect will occur (example: damage) or how long to wait until an
|
|
event occurs or can reoccur.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>With the exception of properties that can be set by checkboxes,
|
|
the map maker will need to type in keys (names for game function
|
|
properties) and their values (numbers or strings) into fields
|
|
within the entities window.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Keys that are set by checkboxes in the editor are called
|
|
"Spawnflags" and will be shown in All Caps. The rest are shown in
|
|
lowercase, as they should be typed into the editor field.
|
|
|

<h2><a name = "basinfo">Basic Key information</a></h2>
|
|
<b>Angle:</b> This is the direction of facing or direction of
|
|
movement for an entity. Set this value with the Angle buttons on
|
|
the entity window. The angle value can be typed in as any positive
|
|
value between 1 and 360.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p><b>Color:</b> This key only affects md3 models that are built
|
|
into func_entities. The color is the color of light used to
|
|
illuminate the model. It is expressed as a normalized three
|
|
digit RGB formula.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p><b>Entity Dimensions:</b> The minimum and maximum coordinate
|
|
dimensions of the entity box.

|

box used to represent the entity in the map editor.

<h2><a name = "ammo">Ammo_* Entities</a></h2>
|
|
The properties for ammo entities are all very similar.
|
|
|
|
<p><b>Map Entity Color:</b> Blue
|
|
<br><b>Entity Dimensions:</b> (-16 -16 -16) (16 16 16)
|
|
|
|
<p>These are ammunition boxes for weapons in the game. They can be
|
|
represented by either a blue entity box, or the ammo box model
|
|
itself. With the exception of the type and amount of ammo given to
|
|
the player upon pick up, all ammo entities have the same
|
|
properties.

|
|
<br><b>wait:</b> time in seconds before the item respawns after

|
|
|
|
<br><b>random:</b> random time variance in seconds added or
|
|
subtracted from "wait" delay (default 0 - see Notes).
|
|
|
|
<br><b>team:</b> set this to team items. Teamed items will respawn
|
|
randomly after team master is picked up (see Notes).
|
|
|
|
<br><b>target:</b> picking up the item will trigger the entity this
|
|
points to.
|
|
|
|
<br><b>targetname:</b> a target_give entity can point to this for
|
|
respawn freebies.
|
|
|
|
<br><b>notbot:</b> when set to 1, a bot will never seek out this
|
|
item
|
|
|
|
<br><b>notfree:</b> when set to 1, entity will not spawn in "Free
|
|
for all" and "Tournament" modes.
|
|
|
|
<br><b>notteam:</b> when set to 1, entity will not spawn in
|
|
"Teamplay" and "CTF" modes.
|
|
|
|
<br><b>notsingle:</b> when set to 1, entity will not spawn in Single
|
|
Player mode (bot play mode).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p><strong>Check Boxes/Spawnflags</strong>
|
|
<br>SUSPENDED: item will spawn where it was placed in map and won't
|
|
drop to the floor. Set by Checkbox. Bots will only be attracted to
|
|
suspended entities if they are reachable by way of a jump pad or
|
|
launch pad (trigger_push).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p><strong>Notes</strong>
|
|
|
|
<br>The amount of time it takes for an item in the team to respawn
|
|
is determined by the "wait" value of the item that was picked up
|
|
previously. So if one of the items in the team has it's "wait" key
|
|
set to -1 (never respawn), the random respawning cycle of the
|
|
teamed items will stop after that item is picked up.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>When the random key is set, its value is used to calculate a
|
|
minimum and a maximum delay. The final time delay will be a random
|
|
value anywhere between the minimum and maximum values: (min delay =
|
|
wait - random) (max delay = wait + random).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p><div class = "tip"><strong>Design Notes</strong>
|
|
|
|
<br>An ammo item can be given a negative "count" value. Taking away
|
|
ammo in combat would be a bad idea but in combination with a
|
|
target_give entity, it can be used to set up games mods like Rocket
|
|
Arena by removing the machinegun ammunition from a player when he
|
|
spawns into the map.</div>
