Broken entity list

[spaceweasels]

I'm putting together a list of entities that either don't work at all, or are partially not working in TF2. These are just from personal experience. I haven't tested everything, so I've probably missed a lot.

NOT WORKING
env_fire
env_physimpact
func_rotate
func_ladder
func_useableladder
func_ladderendpoint


PARTIALLY WORKING
env_igniter (you can hear it, and you take damage, no flames are visible)
keyframe_rope (will not resize, follow moving entities; no collision; no parent entity support; questionable dx8 support)
trigger_push (won't push up or down)


SUSPECTED BROKEN
env_particlelight
env_particlescript
env_funnel


I didn't bother listing the HalfLife 2 specific entities that won't work in TF2 (like npc_alyx or func_healthcharger). Let me know of any that you know don't work, or any errors on this list.

Rope woks fine.

env_sprite works as long as you put in the extension

[Half-Life_Maniac]

Might want to add trigger_teleport to the list. I havn't been able to get it to work at least.

[die_angel]

trigger teleport work fine.

[spaceweasels]

Thanks for the replies everyone.

I'll try that.

Teleport_trigger was tricky, but I got it working.

env_spark works as does env_smokestack.

[spaceweasels]

Okay, env_smokestack and env_smoketrail are both working too. I updated the first post.

[spaceweasels]

Rope woks fine.

After it's spawned appearance, it will not change (stretch or collide) as it will in HL2 or counterstrike.

Has anyone tried func_door_rotate?

[Shmitz]

Has anyone tried func_door_rotate?

I've used it. It works fine.

[spaceweasels]

Has anyone tried func_door_rotate?

Yes, I haven't had any problems with it.

I can't get env_smoketrail working so I'm wondering what trick you used to get it functional.

[Big Nick Digger]

moving ropes work fine

That is in no way "fine". It proves they are broken/nerfed if you have to use an entity-intensive elaborate workaround for what a single keyvalue is supposed to do.

[Squirrelly]

yea spark works, im using it to make fireworks right now, haha

i think the env_explosion doesn't work very well either, i can't get anything more than a small poof of quick smoke yet.

[Squirrelly]

env_shake works like a charm ;)

[BeelZebub]

Has anyone been able to get func_monitor to work? I couldn't get it working myself (though I gave up rather quickly).

[Intraman]

I'm pretty sure env_funnel doesn't work.

[spaceweasels]

Added two new entities to the list.

are you sure about trigger_push? i think the problem is not that it wont push up or down, it's that player movement in tf2 is coded to prevent sudden movement changes.

trigger_push can push up or down.

trigger_push can push up or down.

I've tested it. It will push on the X and Y axis, but not on the Z axis. There is the option for up and down, but when you stand in the trigger nothing happens. If I have the Z axis set to -45, I still get sent on the X axis, but not the Z axis.

game_score is kinda broken. It works for teams, but doesn't properly update an individual's score.

[PandaN]

Yea, that [func_door_rotate] works fine. I made a map with standard house doors, that rotated 90 degrees when opened, and -90 when closed etc. Rotate is fine :)
