About the Jelly Bobber[edit]

You recently made an addition to the Jelly Bobber article stating it has a known cut location at the Quarantine Zone entrance gate. I have removed this remark as I have done a full search through all of the levels in the Workshop Tools, and the Jelly Bobber is not present in any map. It's true that the entity "xen_flora_animatedmover" appears in multiple maps, including a2_quantine_entrance.vmap which you mentioned in the article. However, in none of these instances is the Jelly Bobber itself defined as the actual model to be used by the entity. It's always overridden with a different model. In a2_quantine_entrance.vmap, the xen_flora_animatedmover entities there are set to appear as "models/props/xen/xen_floater05.vmdl", a different Xen creature.

Even though the Jelly Bobber appears as the entity model in Hammer, this does not actually reflect the model that would appear in-game. The xen_flora_animatedmover is actually also used for flying pigeons and crows in other maps, and they too look like Jelly Bobbers when you view their entities in the editor.

Ohhhhh!! I am so sorry! I noticed that a little bit in the a1_intro_world, but never thought of it much. My bad, I didn't even think to check the model field. Thanks for catching me on that. Man, these tools have so many mysteries...Ihonnyboy (talk) 06:06, 16 June 2020 (MSK)
