Asw queen.png

asw_queen is a point entity present in Asw.pngAlien Swarm. The queen is an unused alien that's meant to be a boss. It's extremely strong but fairly slow. Being a below-average navigator, the queen is equipped with tentacles that burrow through the ground to attack remotely, and she can shoot a volley of spit projectiles. The queen is also capable of spawning parasites on command.

Flags[edit | edit source]

  • 131072: Use Ground Checks - Do not use. This is unintentionally in the FGD entry for asw_queen because the entry was copied from npc_antlion.

Keyvalues[edit | edit source]

Alert Radius (radius) <integer>
Do not use, for the same reasons as the Use Ground Checks flag.
Distance until eluded (eludedist) <integer>
Do not use, for the same reasons as the Use Ground Checks flag.

Outputs[edit | edit source]

OnSummonWave1 to OnSummonWave4
Fired once each of the queen's first four health bars are depleted. If an asw_queen_retreat_spot exists, these outputs will be delayed until the queen has retreated to it. These are apparently meant to correspond with the queen summoning waves of other aliens.
OnQueenKilled
Fires when the queen dies. The asw_queen entity will never disappear though. It will stay there as a corpse.
