Env model (GoldSrc)

Template:Entity Originally found in Spirit of Half-Life, it is used to place a model (usually an MDL) on a map, with optional animation and no collision. Env_models do not have any collision, and will not cast shadows with normal compilers. To workaorund this create a brush-based collision mesh and tie it to a func_wall with renderamt set to 0 (aka invisible). Set the texture scale to 4.0 or higher to avoid wasting allocblock on invisible faces. This will also cast lightmap shadows, unless alphatest ({) textures are used.}} }} In the official .fgd file it is descibed as "new alternative to cyclers".

Key Values

Name (targetname) <string>

The targetname that other entities refer to this entity by.

Pitch Yaw Roll (Y Z X) (angles) <QAngle>

This entity's orientation in the world. Pitch is rotation around the Y axis, yaw is the rotation around the Z axis, roll is the rotation around the X axis.

Render FX (renderfx) <choices>

Render FX mode to use, for special effects.

Value	Description
0	Normal
1	Slow Pulse
2	Fast Pulse
3	Slow Wide Pulse
4	Fast Wide Pulse
5	Slow Fade Away
6	Fast Fade Away
7	Slow Become Solid
8	Fast Become Solid
9	Slow Strobe
10	Fast Strobe
11	Faster Strobe
12	Slow Flicker
13	Fast Flicker
14	Constant Glow
15	Distort
16	Hologram (Distort + fade)

Render Mode (rendermode) <choices>

Render Mode to use.

Value	Description
0	Normal
1	Color
2	Texture
3	Glow
4	Solid
5	Additive

Render Amount (0-255) (renderamt) <integer>

Controls transparency when using another render mode then normal. 0 is completely invisible, and 255 is opaque. If render mode is solid, then all values except 0 are opaque.

Render Color (R G B) (rendercolor) <color255>

Color to use by the specified render mode.
Also used on brush entities to control the speed of scrolling textures; see func_conveyor for more information.

Model name (model) <model path>

Path to the model to be displayed.

Skin (skin) <integer>

Display different skins of the model if aviable.

Body (body) <integer>

Display different sub-models of the model if aviable.

Sequence when on (m_iszSequence_On) <string>

Displays the animation sequence of the model when on.

Behaviour when on (m_iAction_On) <choices>

Behaviour of the model when on.

Value	Description
0	Freeze when sequence ends
1	Loop
2	Change state when sequence ends

Sequence when off (m_iszSequence_Off) <string>

Displays the animation sequence of the model when off.

Behaviour when off (m_iAction_Off) <choices>

Behaviour of the model when off.

Value	Description
0	Freeze when sequence ends
1	Loop
2	Change state when sequence ends
