S1 Entities

Many Source 1 entities do not work as intended, or outright removed. This section will highlight some of these entities and if applicable provide a suitable replacement.

Missing Entities​

Here are a few of the common missing entities with their substitute:

note

Some substitutes may require a third-party plugin (e.g. CS2Fixes), so use them at your own discretion.

  • player_speedmod: recreateable with cs_script.
  • game_ui: custom implementation via CS2Fixes, recreateable with cs_script.
  • game_text: recreateable with custom_hud_layout.
  • point_viewcontrol: replaced with team_select for the team select background.
  • point_viewcontrol_multiplayer: recreateable with cs_player_camera, custom implementation via CS2Fixes for more customization options.
  • func_water_analog: water now works with func_water. However, moving func_water only moves its collision and not the water texture itself.
  • Particle based entities (env_steam, func_dustmotes, etc.): recreateable with particles.
  • point_spotlight: recreateable with particles.
  • prop_exploding_barrel: must be recreated manually with e.g. prop_dynamic and env_explosion.
  • env_fire: recreateable with other entities and particles.
  • env_beam: recreateable with particles.
  • env_laser: recreateable with particles.

Missing Entities From .fgd​

Some entities missing from the hammer .fgd files can be used after substitution from CS:GO files. These entities are:

  • filter_activator_team As an example, the following section will explain how to re-enable filter_activator_team. The .fgd for this entity can be copied directly from CS:GO .fgd, or alternatively can be copied from below:
@FilterClass base(BaseFilter) size(-8 -8 -8, 8 8 8) = filter_activator_team :
	"A filter that filters by the team of the activator."
[
	filterteam(choices) : "Filter Team Number" : 2 : "The team number to filter by.  If the filter mode is Allow, only entities whose "+
		"team number matches the given team will pass the filter. If the filter mode is Disallow, "+
		"all entities EXCEPT those whose team number matches the given team will pass the filter." =
	[
		2 : "Terrorist"
		3 : "Counter-Terrorist"
	]
]

For consistency, this block should be added near other filter_* entities in base.fgd. Otherwise, place this block at the end of base.fgd.

Entities with Changed Behaviors​

func_tracktrain​

The Orientation Style of Face the Direction of Motion no longer works as intended. Without using scripts, the best solution is to have wider berths on curves and slow down the func_tracktrain as necessary.

env_spark​

This entity is missing the particle responsible for sparks. You can choose to recreate this entity, or manually replace the missing particle.

Ropes​

Path_particle_rope is obsolete and is replaced as path_particle_rope_clientside.
