trigger_weapon_dissolve is a brush entity present in the Half-Life 2 series and Portal 2. It dissolves weapons. It saves weapons with the Classname (classname) weapon_physcannon until the end. A gravity gun will only get dissolved if it's the last thing in the trigger, at which point it will become supercharged.

Bug: Weapons are only detected if they're dropped via trigger_weapon_strip.

Bug: The entity is not designed for reuse and will break if it gets used more than once.

Bug: If a weapon is picked up at the right time, it may be unusable or a lightning beam may follow the player's feet.
