| - | Several different entity types have been created to simplify the creation of often used objects such as doors, lights and buttons. Much of the special entity functionality can be scripted in the .hps file for a level, but using special entities you can easily make an entity that can be imported to a level and have full functionality from the start. These entity types have extra settings mainly set in the <GAME/> section of the entity files. The specific settings for each entity type is described in [[content.creation.document#game.section|Chapter 6.3]]. | + | Several different entity types have been created to simplify the creation of often used objects such as doors, lights and buttons.
