This page describes player related entities.

Special entity names

Certain played related events automatically trigger entities with special targetnames, providing the player as activator (in most cases).

See also: Special Entity Names on TWHL wiki

game_playerspawn

Triggered when player spawns. This can be used to configure some player parameters. It also can serve as an indicator that the map was loaded via a Start game menu or a console command and not through the changelevel.

In original Half-Life entities named game_playerspawn are triggered on the new player spawn only in multiplayer. Featureful SDK fires them in singleplayer as well.

game_playerdie

Triggered when player dies.

In original Half-Life entities named game_playerdie are triggered only in multiplayer. Featureful SDK fires them in singleplayer as well.

New Entities

game_player_settings

This entity allows to give/remove weapons and ammo to the player, configure player's health, armor and some other settings.

The game_player_settings without a targetname is triggered automatically when player spawns unless the map .cfg file exists (then it takes the priority and contents of game_player_settings are ignored).

player_calc_ratio

The entity which reports the specified player value as its Locus Ratio. Can report the current health, armor, ammo amount and the inventory item count. Use it together with trigger_compare to implement the map logic that depends on these player parameters.

player_capabilities

Enable/disable certain player's capabilities such as jump, duck (crouch), attack and use.
