Func clip vphysics

func_clip_vphysics is a brush entity available in all Source games. It is considered solid to VPhysics objects (such as a prop_physics). QPhysics objects (such as players) can pass freely. It can also use a filter to only collide with specific objects.

In simple terms, it's an invisible wall that blocks objects but not players.

Note:Any normal material can be used on this entity's brush faces; a material with %CompileNoDraw and/or %CompileTrigger is recommended. Vphysics clip brushes are not drawn with r_drawclipbrushes or showtriggers_toggle.

Bug*:StartDisabled is a keyvalue in Hammer, but it is not present in the code. Use a logic_auto and the Disable input instead.

Code fix

Code Fix:In bmodels.cpp, find BEGIN_DATADESC( CFuncVPhysicsClip ) and replace DEFINE_FIELD( m_bDisabled, FIELD_BOOLEAN ) with DEFINE_KEYFIELD( m_bDisabled, FIELD_BOOLEAN, "StartDisabled" ). No changes to the FGDs or existing maps are required.
