commentary_auto

This entity is not in the stock FGD files by default. It should not be placed (in Hammer) because there's no reason to; it should be spawned through a commentary file.

Code classes:

• CCommentaryAuto
• CBaseEntity (all ents)

commentary_auto is a point entity present in all Source games. In commentary mode, this entity acts similar to a logic_auto in that it fires I/O automatically when certain things happen.

Inputs

MultiplayerSpawned

Makes OnCommentaryMultiplayerSpawn fire. Automatically sent by players in when they spawn or respawn.

Outputs

OnCommentaryNewGame

Fires when the map is loaded in commentary mode (usually done with the map_commentary command).

OnCommentaryMidGame

Fires when the game switches into commentary mode (usually done by setting commentary 1).

OnCommentaryMultiplayerSpawn

Fires when the MultiplayerSpawned input is sent. Fires in when players spawn or respawn.
