generator
Generator of a specified number of target activation impulses. The number of activations can be changed dynamically in-game.
Spawnflag
| SF_GENERATOR_START_ON |
1 (initially turned on) |
Options
| 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. |
Usage Details
- 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.
