It's very dangerous, as it involve unselecting entities while in the input tab (or output,visgroup,flag), and selecting them again.
Which you can do without really noticing
How to break classname in Hammer++
What you need:
A entity_2 that has an output targeting entity_1
The entity_x can be any entity in your map. It doesnt matter
Step 01: Select entity_xStep 02: Go in the entity_x input tab
Step 03: Unselect the entity_x (click in the void in the 3D View or 2D View)
Step 04: Select the entity_1 (you are in the "Input" tab)
Step 05: Double click on the source input, to go to entity_2Step 06: You are now in entity_2 "Output" tab
Step 07: Go to the "Class Info" tab
Step 08: Go back to the "Output" tab
Step 09:/!\__ Here you can double click literally any of the output available on entity_2 , to go to the entity targeted
Step 10: You are now on the entity that was targetted by the outputStep 11: Go to the "Class Info" tab
Step 12:/!\__ The entity you are on is starting to break and is becoming of the type of entity_2
Note: the initial entity used in the step 1 to 3 could be any entity in your map, what matters is that you unselected an entity while the input tab was open
Step 01-03 are the most important one. And it doesnt only work with input tab, it work on outputs, flags and probably visgroup. It seems safe if you unselect the entity when in class info.
