The $staticprop QC command specifies that the model being compiled does not have any moving parts.
Note:Despite the name, a model compiled with $staticprop does not always need to be used as prop_static. It may be placed as prop_static entity, or as prop_physics (if it also has propdata and a $collisionmodel).- $staticprop does apply several useful optimisations to the model, so it should be used whenever possible:
- It collapses all bones in the model into a single, rigid bone; so do not use for models with skeletal animation or ragdoll behavior.
- VRAD will use the object's Collisionmodel when generating its Lightmap Shadows.
- Todo: Other?
QC syntax example
$modelname "weapons/shell.mdl" $staticprop $cdmaterials "models/weapons/" $body shell "shell-ref.smd" $sequence idle "shell-idle.smd" // A default animation is still required
Note how the command does not accept any parameters.
