A "target_location" is a non-brush entity that allows a mapper to specify the name of a certain area to be displayed instead of map coordinates in both the fireteam box and the location displayed when you chat, unless it is set to use coordinates on the client side.
Note that using these will throw an error into the console for every one you have if use in etmain, or as of now, shrub and etpub. The map will still run, though. To use them, first make a file called "et_entities_location.def" in the scripts directory of your mapping install. Then, open the file in notepad and paste the following in the file, and then save.
Code: Select all
/*QUAKED target_location (0 0.5 0) (-8 -8 -8) (8 8 8)
Set "message" to the name of this location.
Closest target_location in sight used for the location, if none
in site, closest in distance, within PVS
*/
Locations for already finished maps
Note: This method is less efficient engine-wise than using actual target_locations.
