{{KV|Collisions|intn=solid|choices|Method of collision for this entity.<!--
-->{{Expand|title=Choices|margin_left=2em|margin_bottom=0|
:*'''0''': None

{{KV|Body Group|intn=body or SetBodyGroup|int|Sets the the active {{Ent|$bodygroup}}.{{note|If both {{code|body}} and {{code|SetBodyGroup}} are present (even if set to 0), {{code|body}} will be prioritized.}}|nofgd=1}}

{{KV|Model Scale|intn=modelscale|float|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 {{hammer4|2}}, but will appear in-game. This is fixed in {{hammer++|2}}.}}|not={{l4ds}}}}

=== Animating ===
{{KV|Sequence|intn=sequence|int|Default animation sequence for the model to be playing after spawning.|nofgd=1}}
{{KV|Playback Rate|intn=playbackrate|float|A multiplier of the [[framerate]] at which animations are played, negative values are accepted. Default is 1.0.|nofgd=1}}

{{KV Render FX}}
{{KV Rendermode}}

=== Lighting / Shadows ===
{{KV|Disable Shadows|intn=disableshadows|boolean|Prevent the entity from creating cheap render-to-texture shadows. Does not affect [[shadow mapping]].}}
{{KV|Disable Receiving Shadows|intn=disablereceiveshadows|boolean|Prevent the entity from receiving shadows on itself.}}
{{KV|Shadow Cast Distance|intn=shadowcastdist|int|Sets how far the entity casts dynamic shadows. 0 means default distance from the {{Ent|shadow_control}} entity.}}
{{KV|Lighting Origin|intn=LightingOrigin|targetname|Select an entity (not {{Ent|info_lighting}}!) from which to sample lighting instead of the entity's [[origin]] or [[$illumposition]].}}

{{KV|Lighting Origin Offset|intn=LightingOriginHack|targetname|The {{Ent|info_lighting_relative}} from which to sample lighting instead of the entity's origin or $illumposition. Use <tt>Lighting Origin</tt> instead.|not={{l4ds}}|nofgd=1|deprecated=1}}

{{KV|Disable Flashlight|intn=disableflashlight|boolean|Used to disable [[env_projectedtexture|projected texture]] lighting and shadows on this entity. Identical to <tt>[[Effect flags|EF_NOFLASHLIGHT]]</tt>.|since=P2}}
{{KV|Disable ShadowDepth|intn=disableshadowdepth|boolean|Makes this entity not cast a shadow from {{Ent|env_projectedtexture}} entities. Identical to <tt>[[Effect flags|EF_NOSHADOWDEPTH]]</tt>.|since=P2}}
{{KV|Projected Texture Cache|intn=shadowdepthnocache|choices|Used to hint [[env_projectedtexture|projected texture system]] whether it is sufficient to cache shadow volume of this entity or to force render it every frame instead. Identical to<code>[[Effect flags|EF_SHADOWDEPTH_NOCACHE]]</code>.
:*0: Default
:*1: No cache—render every frame
:*2: Cache it—render only once|since=P2}}

=== Performance ===
{{KV|Start Fade Distance|intn=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]].}}
{{KV|End Fade Distance|intn=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.}}
{{KV|Fade Scale|intn=fadescale|float|If specified in the {{Ent|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 {{Ent|$noforcedfade}}.}}
