BaseTrain:

First Stop Target ([todo internal name (i)]) <targetname>

The name of the first path_track in the train's path. The train will spawn at this path_track. It will also turn to face direction indicated by the 'Orientation Type' setting.

Max Speed (units / second) ([todo internal name (i)]) <integer>

The maximum speed that this train can move. Any speeds applied to this train, such as by path_tracks or SetSpeed inputs, will be clipped to this maximum value.

Initial Speed (units / second) ([todo internal name (i)]) <integer>

The speed that the train will move at after it spawns, 0 = stopped.

Change Velocity ([todo internal name (i)]) <choices>

The method through which this train changes its velocity as it moves along the path.

• 0 : Instantaneously
• 1 : Linear blend
• 2 : Ease in/ease out

Change angles ([todo internal name (i)]) <choices>

The method through which this train changes its orientation as it moves along the path.

• 0 : Never (fixed orientation)
• 1 : Near path_tracks
• 2 : Linear blend
• 3 : Ease in/ease out

Distance Between the Wheels ([todo internal name (i)]) <integer>

Used for turning and stopping.

Height above track ([todo internal name (i)]) <integer>

The height above the track that this train moves.

Bank Angle on Turns ([todo internal name (i)]) <string>

Damage on Crush ([todo internal name (i)]) <integer>

The amount of damage this train does to entities that block it.

Minimum Light Level ([todo internal name (i)]) <string>

The minimum level of ambient light that hits this brush.

Move Sound ([todo internal name (i)]) <sound>

A sound that is played (and looped) while the train is moving.

Move Ping Sound ([todo internal name (i)]) <sound>

A sound that is played more frequently as the train speeds up.

Start Sound ([todo internal name (i)]) <sound>

A sound played when the train starts moving.

Stop Sound ([todo internal name (i)]) <sound>

A sound played when the train stops moving.

Volume (10 = loudest) ([todo internal name (i)]) <integer>

Volume of the sound when the train is moving.

Min pitch (1-255, > 100 = higher) ([todo internal name (i)]) <integer>

The sound pitch value that the train will approach as it comes to a stop.

Max pitch (1-255, > 100 = higher) ([todo internal name (i)]) <integer>

The sound pitch value that the train will approach as it approaches its max speed (or 1000 inches/second if the 'Use max speed for pitch shifting move sound' flag is not set).

Min move sound interval ([todo internal name (i)]) <float>

Minimum interval at which to play the move ping sound.

Max move sound interval ([todo internal name (i)]) <float>

Maximum interval at which to play the move ping sound.

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

Parentname:

Parent (parentname) <targetname>

Specifies a movement parent. An entity will maintain its initial offset from its parent. An attachment point can be added to the end of the name, separated by a comma.

Origin:

Origin (X Y Z) (origin) <origin>

The position of this entity's center in the world. Rotating entities typically rotate around their origin.

RenderFields:

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

Render FX (renderfx) <byte choices>

Various somewhat legacy alpha effects. See render effects.

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.

Global:

Global Entity Name (globalname) <string>

Name by which this entity is linked to another entity in a different map. When the player transitions to a new map, entities in the new map with globalnames matching entities in the previous map will have the previous map's state copied over their state.

Shadow:

Disable Shadows (disableshadows) <boolean>

Prevents the entity from creating cheap render-to-texture shadows, or lightmap shadows if the entity is a prop_static. Does not affect shadow mapping.

Disable Receiving Shadows (disablereceiveshadows) <boolean>

Prevent the entity from receiving dynamic shadows on itself.

Shadow Cast Distance (shadowcastdist) <integer> !FGD

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

Disable Shadow Depth (disableshadowdepth) <boolean> (in all games since )

Used to disable rendering into shadow depth (for projected textures) for this entity.

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

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

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.

Choices

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