game_ui

Not to be confused with GameUI

Code classes:

• CGameUI
• CBaseEntity (all ents)

game_ui is a point entity present in all Source games. It monitors a player's game input (such as walking and looking around) and puts it into outputs. It even works with bots!

Note: Multiplayer games will require one game_ui for every player that needs to be monitored at once.

Flags

• 32: Freeze Player - Sets the player's walking speed to 0 while the entity is active.

• 64: Hide Weapon - Makes the player's weapon be hidden. Bug: May not work in some games. Might make the player model go to it's reference pose. Only hides the crosshair in .

• 128: +Use Deactivates - Stops monitoring the player if they press their use key.

• 256: Jump Deactivates - Stops monitoring the player if they jump.

Keyvalues

FieldOfView (FieldOfView) <float>

If the entity is active, how far away the player can look from it while not deactivating it. -1 = any direction, 0 = 90 degrees, 1 = looking perfectly at it. The angle will still be checked even through solid walls.

Inputs
