Entity Description

Env_physexplosion applies a physical force to physics objects within its radius, anything from a gentle nudge to a big explosion, depending on its magnitude. The explosion itself is not visible; for visible explosions, use env_explosion.

If the No Damage - Only Force flag isn't set, the object will also take damage from the explosion. (Damage is applied to the object only - the explosion will never directly damage the player.)

env_physexplosions set to emit a fairly low force can be useful to get lights swinging or floating debris moving.

Availability

This point-based entity is available in: all Source games. In code it is represented by class CPhysExplosion, defined in physobj.cpp.

Keyvalues

• Targetname:

• Parentname:

• magnitude

<float> Amount of physics force applied by the explosion.

Note:The magnitude value is clamped between 1 and 100. If you require a bigger explosion than this, create multiple instances of the entity.

• radius

<float> Clamp radius (0 = auto) If specified, the radius in which the explosion damages entities. If unspecified, the radius will be based on the magnitude.

• targetentityname

<target_destination> If specified, the explosion will only affect the matching entity.

• inner_radius

<float> If not zero, the LOS is calculated from a point intersecting this sphere.

Flags

• 1 : No Damage - Only Force

Don't make the object take damage from the explosion.

• 2 : Push players
• 4 : Push radially - not as a sphere
• 8 : Test LOS before pushing
• 16 : Disorient player if pushed

Inputs

• Targetname:

• Parentname:

• Explode

Trigger the explosion.

Outputs

• Targetname:

• OnPushedPlayer

Fires when the player is pushed by the explosion.
