spawing with equipment

[Seraphim19]

if i want to make a map and have the characters start with a Deagle, vesthelm, and nightvision. then would i make an entity that is "info_player_euip" and make the keyvalues:

weapon_deagle
???_vesthelm
???_nvgs

but what do i put for the "???"

i guess the overall question is how do u spawn with equipment.

and also how do u put weapons on the ground ive been told to put an entity called "weapon_*", where * is the weapon name. but it doesnt seem to work... someone help me and explain my noobish questions.

I'm not sure about spawning with weapons, but for the second part, make an entity and call it "weapon_hegrenade" for example. You have to make sure that you use the right names or it won't work. I'm not at home right now, so I can't tell you about the first part... maybe later when I get back I'll figure it out. Or I'm sure that there is someone here that can help you out.
