phys_keepupright is a point entity available in all Source games. It is a controller that tries to keep an entity facing a particular direction.

Target Entity (attach1) <targetname>: The entity to align to the desired angles.

Angular Limit (angularlimit) <float>: The maximum angular velocity that this controller can compensate for, in degrees per second.
Tip: Common Value 90

Name (targetname) <string>[ Edit ]: The name that other entities refer to this entity by, via Inputs/Outputs or other keyvalues (e.g. parentname or target).
Also displayed in Hammer's 2D views and Entity Report. See also: Generic Keyvalues, Inputs and Outputs available to all entities

Pitch Yaw Roll (Y Z X) (angles) <QAngle>: This entity's orientation in the world. Pitch is rotation around the Y axis, yaw is the rotation around the Z axis, roll is the rotation around the X axis.
