Generator of a specified number of target activation impulses. The number of activations can be changed dynamically in-game.

SF_GENERATOR_START_ON

1 (initially turned on)

maxcount	Maximum number of impulses (with randomisation accounted for) that the generator can produce before it turns off (0 means indefinite).
mode	Operation mode: 0—regular 1—random 2—random with generation slowdown, as in a “one-armed bandit”
delay	Delay between activations.

For random operation modes, maxcount is mandatory. If it is omitted, the entity will set it automatically in the range from 100 to 200.
For operation mode 2, the delay option is ignored.
Activation with the < prefix and a value sets a new maxcount.
Activation with the > prefix resets the current impulse counter to zero.
Activation with both the < and > prefixes does not change the generator state.
Activation with the < prefix and a value is used by the func_clock entity to convert the number of hours into the number of target activations.
