npc_antlionguard is a point entity present in the 
Half-Life 2 series. Antlion guards, ostensibly the same species as regular antlions, are much more hardy and deadly. Guards can summon and command antlions, but will not be swayed to player commands unlike their lower brethren.
ConVars/Commands[edit | edit source]
| ConVar/Command | Parameters or default value | Parameter Type | Effect |
|---|---|---|---|
g_debug_antlionguard | 0 | Arbitrary number, 1 to 5 | Shows various info about charging, LOS(?), and hurling physics objects. |
sk_antlionguard_dmg_charge | 20 | Damage amount | How much damage a charge attack deals to the player (NPCs take 250). Scaled by difficulty setting:
|
sk_antlionguard_dmg_shove | 10 | Damage amount | How much damage a shove attack deals the the player (NPCs take 250). Oddly, the shove attack damages the player two separate times, so the numbers listed here are basically half of what's actually dealt. Scaled by difficulty setting:
|
sk_antlionguard_health | 500 | Health | How much health antlion guards have. |
