No, this is a bit of missing on DR. The spawnargs are actually only the ones the entity inherits, but wether the code really supports this spawnarg (and wether it reads it once when loading the map, or everytime the spawnarg is used) is not encoded and thus DR cannot show it to you.

 

The list, however, weeds out a few spawnargs that definitely are not supported on that entity so it's a first step.

There are many generic spawnargs, but if you examine it carefully, you will find the relevant ones among the clutter.

 

For example, trigger_once_entityname needs a spawnarg for the entity who triggers it. The only way to know it is "entityname" is through that list. Or was it "ent"? Sometimes finding the relevant spawnargs are a PITA if you are not familiar with the entity.

 

Anyways: I do not know other ways to find what spawnargs the entity can take.

 

Check the list for func_emitter to see if it is "start_on" or "start_off" or "hide" or something else. When you get acquainted with the clutter spawnargs, you start seeing the relevant ones more quickly.

I checked it. For those wondering, func_emitter uses "start_off" to control if the emitter is on or off at map start.

 

"entityname" is for trigger_entityname

"ent" is for path_interact

      I posted about it before, but I think the default tdm logo video looks outdated. For a (i.m.o.) better looking version, you can download the pk4 attached to this post and plonk it in your tdm root folder. Every mission that starts with the tdm logo then starts with the better looking one. Try for example mission COS1 Pearls and Swine.

      I finished DOOM - The Dark Ages the other day. It is a decent shooter, but not as great as its predecessors, especially because of the soundtrack.
