If you want to spawn more than 1 enhanced muscle car, you will need to set the other name (replace every "jp" with something else)

If you are playing ep2 map, you can even get Alyx into your muscle car: ent_create npc_alyx targetname ax additionalequipment weapon_alyxgun; ent_fire ax entervehicle jp

Truck: ch_createvehicle prop_vehicle_mp models/vehicles/8seattruck.mdl scripts/vehicles/truck.txt


Combine APC (Game updates broke it): ch_createvehicle prop_vehicle_mp models/combine_apc.mdl scripts/vehicles/apc_npc.txt

Weapons + Ammo

To get weapons and ammo you shall use give and ent_create commands.
The give command will spawn an item at the place you're standing at.
The ent_create command will spawn an item at your crosshair position.

Construction - Tools

Rotate entities with ent_rotate command. Example: ent_rotate 90
To remove an entity, use impulse 203

Moving an entity is not that easy.
First, set a name to the entity you're going to move with ent_setname command. Example: "ent_setname prop"
Then create a base prop: ent_create prop_physics model models\props_junk\popcan01a.mdl targetname base
Attach that prop to the can with ent_fire prop setparent base
Move the can until the prop is placed finally.
To detach it use ent_fire prop clearparent

Construction - Doors

There are several spawnable doors, they will become solid after first use of an animation
Kleiner door: ent_create prop_dynamic model models\props_doors\doorklab01.mdl solid 6 angles "0 0 0" targetname dr1
Open: ent_fire dr1 setanimation open
Close: ent_fire dr1 setanimation close

Close: ent_fire dr2 setanimation ravendoor_drop

Elevator door: ent_create prop_dynamic model models\props_lab\elevatordoor.mdl solid 6 angles "0 0 0" targetname dr3
Open: ent_fire dr3 setanimation open
Close: ent_fire dr3 setanimation close

Small combine door: ent_create prop_dynamic model "models\combine_gate_citizen.mdl" targetname drc1 solid 6 angles "0 0 0"
Open: ent_fire drc1 setanimation open
Close: ent_fire drc1 setanimation close

Open: ent_fire drc2 setanimation open
Close: ent_fire drc2 setanimation close

Tall combine door (does not spawn properly, you will have to move it): ent_create prop_dynamic model "models\props_combine\combine_door01.mdl" targetname drc3 solid 6 angles "0 0 0"
Open: ent_fire drc3 setanimation open
Close: ent_fire drc3 setanimation close

Construction - Props 1

Playable Music

All music by Kelly Bailey


How does it work: you spawn a sound entity then activate it; you dont need to spawn it in order to activate again. To play the sound again, use the second part of the command. Example: ent_fire sg20 playsound

There are many textures you can use for decals.
Warning! You can't remove a decal after it has been placed.

Host Commands

If you're running a listen server, then you'll be able to use those commands.

Player management
To gain player info, use status command
kill <name>
kick <name>
banip <ip>
banid <steamID>

Gravity (600 is default): sv_gravity <number>
Time master (1 is default): host_timescale <number>
Blue physcannons: physcannon_mega_enabled 1
All airboat has guns: ent_fire prop_vehicle_airboat enablegun 1
Reset all suitchargers on the map: ent_fire item_suitcharger recharge
Take player's weapons: ent_create player_weaponstrip targetname st; ent_fire st strip
Switch to the next map: ent_create game_end targetname ge; ent_fire ge endgame

Combine overlay, its kinda useless
ent_create env_screenoverlay targetname cbov overlayname1 effects/combine_binocoverlay overlaytime1 1
ent_fire cbov startoverlays
ent_fire cbov stopoverlays

Text display

A text placed slightly above the center of the screen. Modifying the command can change the text, color, hold time and the placement of the text

ent_create game_text targetname txt message "Put Your Text Here" color "100 100 100" color2 "240 110 0" holdtime 3 spawnflags 1 fadeout 0.5 fadein 1 x -1 y 0.3; ent_fire txt display


A yellow text displayed as a hint. Dont forget to set your title.

ent_create env_hudhint targetname hint message "Put text here" spawnflags 1; ent_fire hint showhudhint

Printing a text in the console

To simplify your interaction with the console, you can print a pre-recorded text inside.
To create a text you're going to put into the console, you need to put a .cfg file into
"Steam\SteamApps\common\Synergy\synergy\cfg" dir. I recommend you to choose a short and easy to remember name for your cfg file. Now open it with Notepad or some other text editor and type what you would like to see in your console when you will execute this file. Use the "echo" command at the beginning of every line. This may be an example for you.


In-game view
This will make you able to copy and paste the commands without using the steam overlay.
You can also load a great bunch of pre-recorded commands by executing a .cfg file. Displaying a text is just one of the ways to use this feature.
My .cfg files can be downloaded below.
Link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/0iz8zx349ek59cw/syn_cfg.rar?dl=0

sv0

Since many players use the commands to create a mess mostly, as a host you will have to be more cautious.
sv0 is my short name for exec files that have sv_cheats 1 at the beginning and sv_cheats 0 at the end.

Example:
sv_cheats 1
ent_create item_item_crate modelscale 0.2 itemclass env_flare itemcount 3 targetname prt
ent_fire prt color 255
sv_cheats 0
Some of my sv0 execs will be found here:

[GσттZ]

@Mac, you can't make an entity a player.

[Mac and Cheese]

how whould i for example make this entity a player? steam64id uid or smh else?

[Tinker]

@Mac, Targetname means the name you give to an entity, so you can refer to it and give it commands.

[Mac and Cheese]

what does targetname and m1 need/mean?

[Lightbringer]

Can you add this? This is the friendly turret.
ent_create npc_turret_floor spawnflags 544

Quite unlikely. This guide is already bulky and things take time and energy. So your best shot is using hl2 hammer to figure npc names and spanw flags out.

i know theres other npcs like friendly turret and rollermine will they be added in this guide?

or stick with ent_create

i don't think its possible to place different class entities inside one crate. You would either have to use multiple crates
