This point entity is exclusive to Portal.

Keyvalues

  • BasePropPhysics:

Min Damage to Hurt <int>
The prop will ignore any damage events if the damage is less than this amount.
Shadow Cast Distance <int>
Use this to override how far this object casts shadows. 0 means the default distance.
Physics Impact Damage Scale <float>
Multiplies damage received from physics impacts. 0 means the feature is disabled for backwards compatibility.
Impact damage type <bool>
If true, damage type is sharp and the object can slice others.
Damaging it Doesn't Push It <bool>
Whether damaging the entity does applies force to it.
Scale Factor For Inertia <float>
Scales the angular mass of an object. Used to hack angular damage and collision response.
Mass Scale <float>
Multiplier for the object's mass.
Override Parameters <string>
A list of physics keyvalues that are usually embedded in the model. Format is key,value,key,value,...
Health Level to Override Motion <int>
If specified, this object will start motion disabled. Once its health has dropped below this specified amount, it will enable motion.
Physics Impact Force to Override Motion <float>
If specified, this object will start motion disabled. Any impact that imparts a force greater than this value will enable motion.
puntsound <string>
Sound to make when punted by the Gravity Gun.

Studiomodel:

World Model <string>
The model this entity should appear as. 128-character limit.
Skin <int>
Some models have multiple skins. This value selects from the index, starting with 0.
Tip:Hammer's model browser automatically updates this value if you use it to view different skins.

Shadow:

Disable shadows <bool>
Prevent the entity from creating cheap render-to-texture shadows. Does not affect shadow mapping.

BreakableProp:

Pressure Delay <float>
Seconds to delay breaking from pressure. Allows creaking/groaning sounds to play.

Breakable:

Explosion Damage <float>
Explosion Radius <float>
If both values are non-zero, when the entity breaks it will create an explosion causing the specified amount of damage over the specified radius.
Performance Mode <choices>
Used to limit the amount of gibs produced when this entity breaks, for performance reasons.
  • Normal
  • Limit Gibs
  • Full Gibs on All Platforms

DamageFilter:

Damage Filter <targetname>
Name of the filter_damage_type that controls what damages this entity.

Shadow:

Disable shadows <bool>
Prevent the entity from creating cheap render-to-texture shadows. Does not affect shadow mapping.

Targetname:

Name <string>
The targetname other entities refer to this entity by.

BaseFadeProp:

Start Fade Dist <float>
End Fade Dist <float>
Distances at which the prop start and finish fading.
  • If start fade is <0, the prop will disappear instantly when end fade is hit.
  • If end fade is <0, the prop won't disappear at all. (This is the default behaviour.)
The values will scale appropriately if the prop is in a 3D Skybox.
Fade Scale <float>
If you specify so in worldspawn, or if the engine is running below DirectX 8 (DX7 in Ep1), props will fade out even if the fade distances above aren't specified. This value gives you some control over when this happens: numbers smaller than 1 cause the prop to fade out at further distances, and greater than 1 cause it to fade out at closer distances. Using 0 turns off the forced fade altogether.

DXLevelChoice:

Minimum DX Level <choices>
Maximum DX Level <choices>
The entity will not exist if the engine is running outside the given range of DirectX Versions. Don't use this with anything that will break saved games should a player switch dxlevel!
  • Default (no bounding)
  • DX7
  • DX8
  • DX8.1
  • DX9 SM2
  • DX9 SM3

Angles:

Pitch Yaw Roll (Y Z X) <angle>
This entity's angular orientation in the world.

Global:

Global Entity Name <string>
Name by which this entity is linked to another entity in a different map. When the player transitions to a new map, entities in the new map with global names matching entities in the previous map will have the previous map's state copied over to them.

Targetname:

Name <string>
The targetname other entities refer to this entity by.
  • CoreType
<choices> Which personality VO set the core is set to.
Literal Value Description
0 Curious
1 Aggressive
2 Crazy
3 None
  • DelayBetweenLines
<float> When the core is talking, this is the number of seconds delay between its spoken lines.
