$contents is a QC command available in all 
Source games. It specifies a list of the contents types to use for SolidMask tests during non-hitbox traces.
- This feature was specifically added to allow us to make things like fences out of props instead of brush models.
- See also $jointcontents.
Example
$contents "monster" "grate"
Available contents types are:
- grate
- Makes it a grate.
- Grates are not solid to bullets or line of sight, but solid to everything else.
Bug:Does not function correctly in 
; see %CompilePassBullets for specifics. [todo tested in ?]- Bug:Barnacles' tongues will ignore props with this parameter, but will not be able to pull objects, will grab and drop them immediately (with player they will do this endless until player go away). In Black Mesa, this can break barnacles. (tested in:
,
) - monster
- Marks it as a monster, better known in Source as an NPC.
Confirm:Is there any reason to do this? This flag is usually applied via game code.- notsolid
- Makes it not solid to anything.
- Nonsolid cannot be combined with any other contents flags.
- solid
- Makes it solid.
- Solid is the default value, so this parameter is usually used only for the $jointcontents command, to make a solid child of a non-solid parent.
- ladder
- Makes it a ladder.
- Whether a prop ladder is actually climbable is dependent upon the game; see Working Ladders.
- debris (only in NekoMDL)
- Marks it as debris.
- Debris is solid to brushes, hitscan weapons, and non-debris physics objects, but is nonsolid to everything else, including players.
Additional contents from 
bspflags.h can be set via 
Source Model Skin Editor, although results may vary. For example, set the contents to 67108864 (debris) to make it block bullets without blocking players.
