Basic Info
"dumpentityfactory" is a command that dumps the entire spawnlist of entities in the game to console, allowing you to peak into its internal workings. This is a small selection of whats provided by that command, leaving you with the mostly stable, (and hopefully fun) bits.

To spawn an entity, use:
"ent_create <entity name>"

To spawn an entity with a specific weapon use:
"npc_create_equipment <weapon name>; npc_create <entity name>"

Black Mesa NPC Weapons Spawnlist: TBD (I'll Make One Eventually, For now this should work:

Anything marked in bold is a spawnable name, Do not copy the comments marked in either // or with brackets. Please Enjoy!

it just says unknown command
Osgood-Schlatter's disease 2 Jan, 2023 @ 9:51pm 
The xort just spawns in a hostile vortigaunt instead of an friendly one.

what about impulse 76? it spawns Marines just fine, but I wish there could have been the same command but for security officers

if you spawn a osprey in the map bm_c2a5a and then you want to shoot at it with your weapons the osprey is about to go down and let you game crash at few seconds

the barnacle doesnt work for me
Greenth-Mac 13 Aug, 2020 @ 2:30am 
If I want to spawn an npc with a model outside the game or another npc model, like HL2 for some npcs, is it possible?
"ent_create npc_npcname model models/..." does not work. Any ideas?

to add helmets to barneys look at them and enter the following command:
ent_fire !picker addoutput "body 2"

How does thou spawn security with helmet?

@Psaimon
I am fairly certain these are parts of the map, and may not be spawnable. Not sure tho

npc_xort seems to be the same as the two other variants of vortigaunts now, being hostile that is.
