Mapping Day of Defeat - by Nick Robins

DoD Entities

Half-Life Entities - Modified in DoD

The entitys here are standard Half-Life entitys which behave differently or have extra functions in Day of Defeat. Most of these extra functions are to apply restrictions on which teams can and cannot trigger or be affected by the entity.

All entity properties have not been listed, but a link to the Half-Life original entity has been provided.

Other entitys (not listed here) may have properties modified by the Spirit of Half-Life mod codebase as a version of SoHL (0.42) was included into DoD beta 2.0. for more information on these see the SoHL entity guide. Spirit Entity Guide (this will be for the latest version of SoHL and will include some entitys and functionality not included in DoD).

Notes:

game_zone_player can be used to set a counter to the number of players inside (or outside) the "zone", alternatively (or also) it can force all players inside (or outside) the "zone" to trigger an entity.
There are many ways this could be used, for example by setting a large "zone" triggering a game_score around a dod_object_goal it could give points to all players who were assisting or escorting the player with the dod_object being captured.
