entities

Hi I'm making a recreation of the MGE gamemode for a mini-game map, and i'm trying to set up the overheal gained after a kill. I'm looking for exactly 150% of the health of the class, and so far I've only found ways to give a set number of overheal, not a percentage. I don't want to give 300...

i am currently working on a map that has some kinda security system and i would like to make a room that has monitors that showcase parts of the map. is there anyway i can do that with or without these entities? (func_monitor/point_camera)

Introduction It's that time of year again, where people are struggling to come up with a good gimmick for their halloween maps. Well don't worry; i'm here to make your job just a little easier. In this guide i'll go over the many, MANY entities which are useful for scream fortress maps, as well...

Im wanting to place a spawn point entity in my map, so I changed the prop static (which is what entities are by default for me) into a spawn point, and pressed enter and it didn't change. I pressed apply and that didn't work either. I changed the default entity back to a spawn point, but now I...

First thing first, I'm making a Halloween map called cp_torment_town_event and just wanted to know what entities I needed to make the map work (It's got spells in it). Second, I wanted to make a VO of merasmus speaking, like in sd_doomsday_event. How would this work? Third, How would I make...

I'm making a lava pit in a map that I'm working on. However, I can't for the life of me find out a way to make the lava itself emit light. (The lava being a block with a lava texture) How can I/can I make it emit light without using a separate light source?

I decided to play around with the I/O system and discovered something strange: Sentries, teleporters, stickies, etc can't seem to activate triggers. Does anyone know if it is possible to get them to do this, and if so, how?

I got into some trouble while practising map design. When I click my world to create an entity, it spawns a prop_static about 650 HU:s south from where it's supposed to spawn. The problem does not fade if I change the spawned object from the settings, nor does quitting Hammer entirely solve my...

I've had a few people in my community ask about the difference between the two, and while I *think* I have a good idea on what is and isn't and entity or edict, I'd like to clarify some points. Partly for my own curiosity sake, but also so I can actually explain this stuff to other people...
