I wanted to find out where certain infos about sentry guns are stored in TFC, as things like the team and owner keys are *not* used for these. So I wrote a plugin that dumps all keys of an entity to console, except for the empty ones (value zero or empty string).

You need the engine module for this plugin.

Instructions: Look at an entity, press attack. You can use a melee weapon from a distance to avoid damage. A HUD message will come up with the number (id) of the entity, and informing you that more info is available in the console. To save the data, enter the command condump in console. This will write a plain ASCII file.

Example:

You finish building the sentry gun. -xS- pizzahut has built a sentry gun Entity 308 [Looking at the mounted sentry gun here.] EV_INT_movetype = 5 EV_INT_solid = 3 EV_INT_sequence = 2 EV_INT_modelindex = 151 EV_INT_watertype = -1 EV_INT_flags = 32 EVINT_colormap = 41110 EV_FL_nextthink = 50.254356 EV_FL_frame = 127.990234 EV_FL_animtime = 50.154358 EV_FL_framerate = 1.000000 EV_FL_health = 150.000000 EV_FL_takedamage = 2.000000 EV_FL_max_health = 150.000000 EV_VEC_origin = (-572.000000,-1404.000000,-218.781967) EV_VEC_angles = (0.000000,184.053955,0.000000) EV_VEC_absmin = (-589.000000,-1421.000000,-219.781967) EV_VEC_absmax = (-555.000000,-1387.000000,-169.781967) EV_VEC_mins = (-16.000000,-16.000000,0.000000) EV_VEC_maxs = (16.000000,16.000000,48.00000) EV_VEC_size = (32.000000,32.000000,48.000000) EV_VEC_view_ofs = (0.000000,0.000000,22.000000) EV_ENT_pContainingEntity = 308 EV_SZ_classname = building_sentrygun EV_SZ_model = models/sentry1.mdl EV_BYTE_controller1 = 238 EV_BYTE_controller2 = 127 You put some shells into your sentry gun.

Btw, the condump command has a bug, where occasionally a single character is missing. Like this excerpt from above example is missing an underscore:

EVINT_colormap = 41110

Updated Entity Info plugin with Cvar entity_info 0|1. That turns the plugin on or off. Also optimized this for admins only instead of looping it through all players. I've used this to explore and fix many idiosyncrasies of maps from invalid classnames, to you-name-it, stop broken door sound.

DJEarthQuake wants to continue this plugin. If his updated version gets approved, this thread (old plugin) can be unapproved.
