Action Functions

Actor Flags

Behaviour

  • ALLOWCLIENTSPAWN
Spawns the actor on the clientside. This only works for things on the map startup, meaning it will not affect newly spawned actors.
  • CLIENTSIDEONLY
Spawns the actor on the clientside no matter how it is spawned.
  • NONETID
Actors with this flag are not assigned a network id when spawned. Only use it if you know what you are doing!
  • DONTIDENTIFYTARGET
Players using a class with this flag enabled won't be identified when looked at.
  • SCOREPILLAR
Used in conjunction with the flag to make the player score a point if he/she is holding the flag/skull item.
  • SERVERSIDEONLY
The clients don't spawn such actors, only the server does. Therefore, spawning or manipulating these actors does not need network bandwidth. Only use it on actors that are always invisible and don't block the movement of players.

  • FORCEALLYCOLLISION
A projectile or puff fired by an actor will always collide and push their teammates, even if sv_shootthroughallies or sv_dontpushallies are enabled.
  • USESPAWNEVENTSCRIPT
Actors with this flag will trigger GAMEEVENT_ACTOR_SPAWNED just before their first tic.
  • NOSPAWNEVENTSCRIPT
Actors with this flag will never trigger GAMEEVENT_ACTOR_SPAWNED, even if ForceSpawnEventScripts is enabled in the GameInfo Definition.
  • USEDAMAGEEVENTSCRIPT
Actors with this flag will trigger GAMEEVENT_ACTOR_DAMAGED just before they're about to take damage.
  • NODAMAGEEVENTSCRIPT
Actors with this flag will never trigger GAMEEVENT_ACTOR_DAMAGED, even if ForceDamageEventScripts is enabled in the GameInfo Definition.
