Model entity/Generic Keyvalues, Inputs and Outputs/Keyvalues

Keyvalues

World Model (model) <string>

The model this entity should appear as. 128-character limit.

Skin (skin or ModelSkin ) <integer>

Some models have multiple skins. This value selects from the index, starting with 0.

Collisions (solid) <integer choices>

Method of collision for this entity.

Choices

0: None 1: BSP (QPhysics) Bug:In Portal 2, if an entity using QPhysics collisions is hit by Gel, the game will crash! 2: Bounding Box 3: Oriented Bounding Box (Use for runtime spawned rotated brush entities) 4: Oriented Bounding Box, constrained to Yaw only 5: Custom/Test (Usually no collision with anything) 6: VPhysics

Body Group (body or SetBodyGroup) <integer> !FGD

Sets the the active $bodygroup.

Note:If both body and SetBodyGroup are present (even if set to 0), body will be prioritized.

Model Scale (modelscale) <float> (not in )

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 does not appear in Hammer 4.x, but will appear in-game. (fixed in )
In Hammer++: With a prop selected in 3D view, hold Ctrl and scroll the mouse wheel to change the model scale in increments of 0.5. Holding Shift will scale it in smaller increments of 0.05..

Effects - Render

Render Amount (Transparency) (renderamt) <byte>

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.
Masked by $blendtintbybasealpha(in all games since ) if present. No effect if $allowdiffusemodulation 0(in all games since ) or $notint 1(in all games since ) are used in the model's VMT.

Render FX (renderfx) <byte choices>

Various somewhat legacy alpha effects. See render effects.

Render Mode (rendermode) <byte choices>

Set a non-standard rendering mode on this entity.

Render Modes

0: Normal 1: Color 2: Texture 3: Glow 4: Solid/Alphatest 5: Additive 6: Removed, does nothing 7: Additive Fractional Frame 8: Alpha Add 9: World Space Glow 10: Don't Render

Lighting / Shadows

Disable Shadows (disableshadows) <boolean>

Prevent the entity from creating cheap render-to-texture shadows. Does not affect shadow mapping.

Disable Receiving Shadows (disablereceiveshadows) <boolean>

Prevent the entity from receiving shadows on itself.

Shadow Cast Distance (shadowcastdist) <integer>

Sets how far the entity casts dynamic shadows. 0 means default distance from the shadow_control entity.

Lighting Origin (LightingOrigin) <targetname>

Select an entity (not info_lighting!) from which to sample lighting instead of the entity's origin or $illumposition.

Lighting Origin Offset (LightingOriginHack) <targetname> (not in ) !FGD 

Deprecated.
The info_lighting_relative from which to sample lighting instead of the entity's origin or $illumposition. Use Lighting Origin instead.

Disable Flashlight (disableflashlight) <boolean> (in all games since )

Used to disable projected texture lighting and shadows on this entity. Identical to EF_NOFLASHLIGHT.

Disable ShadowDepth (disableshadowdepth) <boolean> (in all games since )

Makes this entity not cast a shadow from env_projectedtexture entities. Identical to EF_NOSHADOWDEPTH.

Projected Texture Cache (shadowdepthnocache) <integer 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 toEF_SHADOWDEPTH_NOCACHE.

• 0: Default
• 1: No cache—render every frame
• 2: Cache it—render only once

Performance

Start Fade Dist (fademindist) <float>

Distance at which the entity starts to fade.

End Fade Dist (fademaxdist) <float>

Max fade distance at which the entity is visible.

• If start fade is <0, the entity will disappear instantly when end fade is hit.
• If end fade is <0, the entity won't disappear at all. (This is the default behavior.)

The values will scale appropriately if the entity is in a 3D Skybox.

Fade Scale (fadescale) <float>

If you specify so in worldspawn, or if the engine is running below DirectX 8 (DX7 in ), props will fade out even if the fade distances above aren't specified. This value gives you some control over when this happens: numbers smaller than 1 cause the prop to fade out at further distances, while those greater than 1 cause it to fade out at closer distances. Using 0 turns off the forced fade altogether. See also the QC command $noforcedfade.

Minimum / Maximum DX Level (mindxlevel / maxdxlevel) <integer choices> (removed since )

The entity will not exist if the engine is running outside the given range of DirectX Versions.

Choices

Warning:If these are used, the object may break when the user switches their DirectX settings.[missing string] 0 - Default (no bounding) 60 - DirectX 6 (!FGD for mindxlevel) 70 - DirectX 7 80 - DirectX 8 (GeForce4 Ti & FX 5000 series) 81 - DirectX 8.1 (GeForce FX 5800, 5900 & Radeon 8500/9100 and 9000/9200) 90 - DirectX 9 Shader Model 2 92 - OpenGL аналогичен DirectX 9 Shader Model 2 (using ToGL; only) !FGD 95 - DirectX 9 Shader Model 3 (in all games since ) 98 - DirectX 9 Shader Model 3 on Xbox 360 ( only) !FGD

Minimum / Maximum Effect Details Level (mincpulevel / maxcpulevel) <integer choices> (in all games since )

Don't render for players with Effect Details levels that exceed the minimum or maximum.

Choices

0: Default ("Low" for mincpulevel, "High" for maxcpulevel) 1: Low 2: Medium 3: High

Minimum / Maximum Shader Details Level (mingpulevel / maxgpulevel) <integer choices> (in all games since )

Don't render for players with Shader Details levels that exceed the minimum or maximum.

Choices

0: Default ("Low" for mingpulevel, "Very High" for maxgpulevel) 1: Low 2: Medium 3: High 4: Very High
