Simple physics brush

Stub

This article or section is a stub. You can help by expanding it.

This entity is not in the FGD by default.
See below for instructions on making it available.

Entity description

A simple physics brush with no unique properties. Brush entities converted by phys_convert are turned into this entity. Doesn't have any physics when spawned by other means.

FGD Code

Warning:This entity is not designed to be directly used in Hammer and will spawn suspended in mid-air. There is no known way to fix this outside of modifying the code and you would most likely be better off using a phys_convert on a func_brush.

@SolidClass base(Targetname, Parentname) = simple_physics_brush

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.

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.

Inputs

Parentname:

SetParent <stringRedirectInput/string>

Move with this entity. See Entity Hierarchy (parenting).

SetParentAttachment <stringRedirectInput/string>

Change this entity to attach to a specific attachment point on its parent. The entity will teleport so that the position of its root bone matches that of the attachment. Entities must be parented before being sent this input.

SetParentAttachmentMaintainOffset <stringRedirectInput/string>

As above, but without teleporting. The entity retains its position relative to the attachment at the time of the input being received.

ClearParent

Removes this entity from the the movement hierarchy, leaving it free to move independently.
