Subject: Re: Entity Files

Here's a sample Entity file - I've tailored this for my game, so it's
got an added entry ('MDL') that wouldn't normally be in a quake
entity file.

First, I included 'quake.ent' so I had access to all of Quakes normal
entities, and the definitions that go with them.
Then, I declared a 'Class' - the class is the type of entity it is - it's
also the sub-menu name that the items appear on.

Next I made the entity itself - the first is the actual entity name,
the second is the menu item, and the third a description.
Following it  are the variables needed - origin and angle are
filled in by then editor, and are hence 'notuser' variables. Spawnflags
is assigned to 'monster_spawnflags' - from quake.ent.

Go to matt's Qoole page on Planet Quake - there you can download
all the .ent files, which will probably be of more help than this message.

{
        "origin"        notuser
        "angle"         notuser
        "spawnflags"    monster_spawnflags
        "MDL"           str ("plall3.mdl")
}
