prop_vehicle_airboat
...
prop_vehicle_airboat
is a point entity available in the Half-Life 2 series. It is also available in Portal. It is a drivable airboat.
Confirm:It was definitely used in a couple hilarious Portal speedruns, but is it available as a map object?
Warning:This entity doesn't work in Half-Life 2: Deathmatch.

- Scale of action input / framerate
(actionScale)
<float> - Todo: How fast the vehicle turns/accelerates?
BasePropPhysics:
- Physics Impact Damage Scale
(physdamagescale)
<float> - Multiplies damage received from physics impacts. 0 means the feature is disabled for backwards compatibility.
- Impact damage type
(Damagetype)
<boolean> - If true (1), damage type is sharp and the object can slice others.
- Damaging it Doesn't Push It
(nodamageforces)
<boolean> - Whether damaging the entity applies force to it.
- Scale Factor For Inertia
(inertiascale)
<float> - Scales the angular mass of an object. Used to hack angular damage and collision response. Confirm:Doesn't actually affect inertia?
- Mass Scale
(massscale)
<float> - Multiplier for the object's mass.
- Override Parameters
(overridescript)
<string> - A list of physics keyvalues that are usually embedded in the model. Format is
key,value,key,value,…
.
- Health Level to Override Motion
(damagetoenablemotion)
<integer> - If specified, this object will start with motion disabled. Once its health has dropped below this specified amount, it will enable motion.
- Physics Impact Force to Override Motion
(forcetoenablemotion)
<float> - If specified, this object will start motion disabled. Any impact that imparts a force greater than this value will enable motion.
GMODSandbox:
- Allow Physics Gun
(gmod_allowphysgun)
<boolean> (only in ) - If set, players cannot use Physics Gun on this entity.
- Sandbox Tool Whitelist
(gmod_allowtools)
<string> (only in ) - If set, only given tools can be used on this entity. You need to supply the tool class names, the names of the
.lua
files of those tools. This also includes the context menu properties!
BaseAnimating:
- Skin
(skin or ModelSkin )
<integer> - Some models have multiple skins. This value selects from the index, starting with 0.
- Collisions
(solid)
<choices> - Method of collision for this entity.
- Body Group
(body or SetBodyGroup)
<integer> !FGD - Sets the the active
$bodygroup
.
- Model Index
(modelindex)
<short> !FGD - Given the number index from dumping the
cl_precacheinfo modelprecache
table, sets entity model to the index.Warning:If an entity has animations that will be played, then the set model also must have its own sequences, else the game crashes. - Model Scale
(modelscale)
<float> (in all games since ) - A multiplier for the size of the model. Negative values are accepted. Does not alter the physics collisions in most cases, however.Warning:Negative or extremely high values can cause crashes!Note:Scale may not appear in Hammer 4.x, but will appear in-game (tested in ). This is fixed in Hammer++.
Animating
- Sequence
(sequence)
<integer> !FGD - Default animation sequence for the model to be playing after spawning.
- Playback Rate
(playbackrate)
<float> !FGD - A multiplier of the framerate at which animations are played, negative values are accepted. Default is 1.0.
- Texture Frame
(texframeindex)
<integer> !FGD - The initial frame number for all animated textures on this entity.
Effects - Render
- Start Fade Distance
(fademindist)
<float> - Distance at which the entity starts fading. If 0 or less, the entity will disappear instantly when end fade is hit. The value will scale appropriately if the entity is in a 3D Skybox.
- End Fade Distance
(fademaxdist)
<float> - Distance at which the entity ends fading. If 0 or less, the entity won't disappear at all. The value will scale appropriately if the entity is in a 3D Skybox.
- Fade Scale
(fadescale)
<float> - If specified in the
worldspawn
, or if the engine is running below DirectX 8, entities will fade out even if the fade distances above aren't specified. This value gives more control over when this happens: numbers smaller than 1 cause the entity to fade out at further distances, and greater than 1 cause it to fade out at closer distances. Using 0 turns off the forced fade altogether. See also$noforcedfade
.
- FX Amount/Transparency (0–255)
(renderamt)
<integer> - Transparency amount, requires a Render Mode other than Normal. 0 is invisible, 255 is fully visible.
- Render Color (R G B)
(rendercolor)
<color255> - Color tint.
- Render FX
(renderfx)
<choices> - Various somewhat legacy alpha effects.
Bug:Alpha effects from 0 to 10 are unavailable due to the bug in code in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive

(shadowdepthnocache)
<choices> (in all games since ) - Used to hint projected texture system whether it is sufficient to cache shadow volume of this entity or to force render it every frame instead. Identical to
EF_SHADOWDEPTH_NOCACHE

cpu_level
cvar used by Effect Details.]
|
- Minimum / Maximum Shader Details Level

<choices> (in all games since ) - Don't render for players with Shader Details levels that exceed the minimum or maximum.[Key names are related to
gpu_level
cvar used by Shader Details.]

- EnableGun <boolean>
- Whether the airboat's gun is enabled or disabled.
Inputs
