Creating your own entity/datamaps?

pear · **Author**

Hey,

is it possible to create your own entities in hammer, give them some random keyvalues and read those with GetEntProp or something similar? Would be cool if that works.

Not sure what you want exactly so I'll give two answers:

Check out: CEntity

Also you should read this:

Edit: I've made "Custom" entities with CEntity, check out https://youtu.be/nLySY7d5Jws?t=1m25s, which custom trigger brush entity, logic ect... But everything is in C++ and I don't use any plugins. You also can't use GetEntProp to look up your custom properties.
