Not to be confused with prop_energy_ball.
prop_combine_ball is a model entity available in 
Half-Life 2 series and 
Portal series. It is a high-energy ball that disintegrates any organic material in its path. It is primarily found in the Citadel as an energy source, and weaponized by elite Combine soldiers. It can be constrained to other physics objects using hinges or other constraints. It can also be configured to break when it takes enough damage.
See func_combine_ball_spawner and point_combine_ball_launcher for an entity that spawns these.
Note:Default model: models/effects/combineball.mdlKeyvalues
- Name (targetname) <string>[ Edit ]
- The name that other entities refer to this entity by, via Inputs/Outputs or other keyvalues (e.g.
parentnameortarget).

Inputs
- Explode
- Explodes the pellet.
- FadeAndRespawn !FGD
- Quietly fades out the combine ball in 0.1s, presumably so an associated ball launcher can spawn another one.
- Socketed !FGD
- Unused behavior. In Episodic, invokes undefined Alyx response concept TLK_BALLSOCKETED and deletes this entity.
Flags
- SF_COMBINE_BALL_BOUNCING_IN_SPAWNER : [65536] !FGD
