$keyvalues

The QC command $keyvalues embeds a block of arbitrary keyvalues into the .mdl file.

Warning:Since the values are arbitrary, studiomdl can't check that they are correct when it compiles the model.

Common KeyValues

prop_data

Defines various properties for models for use in Valve's prop_* entities - usually prop_physics

physgun_interactions

Defines any non-standard interactions with the Gravity Gun

vehicle_entry

vehicle_exit

vehicle_escape_exit
