QUAKED trigger_auto (.5 .5 .5) (-8 -8 -8) (8 8 8) TA_USEONCE

OVERVIEW

Will automatically trigger its target when the level has spawned.

KEYS

• "targetname" : Name
• "target" : Target when triggered.
• "killtarget" : Target to kill when triggered.
• "delay" : Time in seconds until it triggers its target.

SPAWNFLAGS

• TA_USEONCE (1) : Remove itself from the level permanently when activated.

NOTES

When a trigger_auto is removed via TA_USEONCE it won't survive match respawns.

TRIVIA

This entity was introduced in Half-Life (1998).

Public Member Functions
void	trigger_auto (void)
virtual void	Save (float)
	Handles saving a copy of this entity to a given filehandle.
virtual void	Restore (string, string)
	Similar to ncIO::SpawnKey() but for save-game fields.
virtual void	SpawnKey (string, string)
	This method handles entity key/value pairs on map load.
virtual void	Spawned (void)
	Called when the entity is fulled initialized.
virtual void	Respawn (void)
	Server: Called when the entity first spawns or when game-logic requests the entity to return to its original spawn state.
virtual void	RestoreComplete (void)

Respawn()

void trigger_auto::Respawn ( void )

virtual

Server: Called when the entity first spawns or when game-logic requests the entity to return to its original spawn state.

Reimplemented from ncPointTrigger.

Restore()

void trigger_auto::Restore ( string keyName, string setValue )

virtual

Similar to ncIO::SpawnKey() but for save-game fields.

Whatever you write into file handles within your ncIO::Save() method needs to be read back in here.

Reimplemented from ncEntity.

RestoreComplete()

void trigger_auto::RestoreComplete ( void )

virtual

Called when the entity has been successfully restored from a savegame file.

Reimplemented from ncIO.

Save()

void trigger_auto::Save ( float handle )

virtual

Handles saving a copy of this entity to a given filehandle.

Within you want to use the ncIO::SaveFloat() etc. methods to write the internal member attributes to the specified file handle.

Reimplemented from ncEntity.

Spawned()

void trigger_auto::Spawned ( void )

virtual

Called when the entity is fulled initialized.

Any spawn key/value info pairs have already been dealt with. So now we can make full decisions on the entity. Always make sure to call super::Spawned(); inside your method when overriding.

Reimplemented from ncEntity.

SpawnKey()

void trigger_auto::SpawnKey ( string keyName, string setValue )

virtual

This method handles entity key/value pairs on map load.

You can easily convert the strValue parameter using the ReadFloat etc. methods that are part of ncIO.

Reimplemented from ncEntity.
