CTriggerBrush
class, defined in the modelentities.cpp
file.Keyvalues
- Ignore flags (InputFilter) <integer>
- Flags of things to ignore: players = 1, npcs = 2, pushables = 4, touch = 8, use = 16, all = 32
- Don't alert parent (DontMessageParent) <boolean>
- Decides whether to forward OnStartTouch, OnEndTouch outputs or Use input to parented entity
- Name (targetname) <string>[ Edit ]
- The name that other entities refer to this entity by, via Inputs/Outputs or other keyvalues (e.g.
parentname
ortarget
).
Also displayed in Hammer's 2D views and Entity Report.See also: Generic Keyvalues, Inputs and Outputs available to all entities
Inputs
EnableDisable:
- Enable / Disable
- Enable/disable this entity from performing its task. It might also disappear from view.
- Use
- Fires the OnUse output.
Outputs
- OnUse
- Fired when the
Use
input is given.
- OnStartTouch
- Fired when an entity starts touching this trigger. The touching entity must pass this trigger's filters to cause this output to fire.
- OnEndTouch
- Fired when an entity stops touching this trigger. Only entities that passed this trigger's filters will cause this output to fire.
