env_spark is a point entity available in all Source games. It is used to create sparks at its origin.

env_spark with directional, glowing medium-sized sparks. By default, the sparks jump up a bit from the origin of the entity, so if you are attempting to create a sparks like this, you must use the Directional flag and point the entity downwards.

Flags

Start ON : [64]

Glow : [128]

Silent : [256]

Directional : [512]

Keyvalues

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

Max Delay (MaxDelay) <string>: The longest delay between sparks (in seconds). If this value is changed with AddOutput, the change will only take effect after the entity sparks again.

Magnitude (Magnitude) <choices>

The amount of the sparks.

1: Small
2: Medium
5: Large
8: Huge

Spark Trail Length (TrailLength) <choices>

Length of the spark trails. Other numbers may be entered to create extremely long or short trails.

1: Short
2: Medium
3: Long

Inputs

StartSpark: Start the spark effect.

StopSpark: Stop the spark effect.
