Keyvalues
Targetname:
- Name <string>
- The targetname other entities refer to this entity by.
Parentname:
- Parent
<targetname> - Specifies the targetname of this entity's movement parent. Entities with parents move with their parent.
- angles
- <angles> Gib Direction (Pitch Yaw Roll) - The direction the gibs will fly.
- m_iGibs
- <integer> Number of Gibs - Total number of gibs to shoot each time it's activated.
- delay
- <float> Delay between shots - Delay (in seconds) between shooting each gib. If 0, all gibs shoot at once.
- gibangles
- <angles> Gib Angles (Pitch Yaw Roll) - The orientation of the spawned gibs.
- m_flVelocity
- <float> Gib Velocity - Speed of the fired gibs.
- m_flVariance
- <float> Course Variance - How much variance in the direction gibs are fired.
- m_flGibLife
- <float> Gib Life - Time in seconds for gibs to live +/- 5%.
- lightingorigin
- <target_destination> Select an info_lighting to specify a location to sample lighting from for all gibs spawned by this shooter, instead of their own origins.

RenderFields:
- Render Mode
<choices> - Set a non-standard rendering mode on this entity. See Render Modes for details.
- FX Amount (0 - 255)

- skin
- <integer> Gib Skin - Some models have multiple versions of their textures, called skins. Set this to a number other than 0 to use that skin on all gibs produced by this shooter.
- gibanglevelocity
- <angle> Max angular velocity
- How fast (degrees/sec) the gib pieces should spin. They will spin on x and y axis at between 10% and 100% of this speed.
- lightingorigin
- <target_destination> Select an info_lighting to specify a location to sample lighting from for all gibs spawned by this shooter, instead of their own origins.
- nogibshadows
- <boolean> If set, shadows from gibs are disabled
- gibgravityscale
- <float> Gib gravity scale. This field allows you to scale gravity so that gibs fall faster, slower, or not at all.
Note:This functionality only works for point-based gibs.
Flags
- 1 : Repeatable
- 2 : On fire
- 4 : strict remove after lifetime

FireUser1toFireUser4 - Fire the
OnUseroutputs; see User Inputs and Outputs.
Parentname:
-
SetParent <targetname> - Move with this entity. See Entity Hierarchy (parenting).
