Don't alert parent (DontMessageParent) <boolean>
Decides whether to forward OnStartTouch, OnEndTouch outputs or Use input to parented entity

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.

FGD Code

@SolidClass base(Targetname, Parentname, Global, EnableDisable) = trigger_brush
[
	InputFilter(integer) : "Ignore flags" : 0 : "Add up wanted flags of things to ignore: players = 1, npcs = 2, pushables = 4, touch = 8, use = 16, all = 32"
	DontMessageParent(integer) : "Don't alert parent" : 0 : "When 0 forwards OnStartTouch, OnEndTouch outputs or Use input to parented entity"

	input Use(void) : "Fires the OnUse output."

	output OnUse(void) : "Fired when the Use input is given. "
	output OnStartTouch(void) : "Fired when an entity starts touching this trigger. The touching entity must pass this trigger's filters to cause this output to fire."
	output OnEndTouch(void) : "Fired when an entity stops touching this trigger. Only entities that passed this trigger's filters will cause this output to fire."
