For configuring client-side visual effects. Not available on the server.
Usage from Hammer
Effect flags can be configured from Hammer. To do so turn off SmartEdit and add a new keyvalue pair:
effects <n>
'n' is the sum total of the flags you want to use. For example, 66 would mean EF_BRIGHTLIGHT and EF_NORECEIVESHADOW.
Flags
- 1 - EF_BONEMERGE
- Merges bones of names shared with a parent entity to the position and direction of the parent's.
- 2 - EF_BRIGHTLIGHT
- Emits a dynamic light of RGB(250,250,250) and a random radius of 400 to 431 from the origin.
- 4 - EF_DIMLIGHT
- Emits a dynamic light of RGB(100,100,100) and a random radius of 200 to 231 from the origin.
- 8 - EF_NOINTERP
- Don't interpolate the next frame.
- 16 - EF_NOSHADOW
- Don't cast a shadow. Todo: Does this also apply to shadow maps?
- 32 - EF_NODRAW
- Don't transmit the entity to the client. Can cause prediction errors if a player proceeds to collide with it.
- 64 - EF_NORECEIVESHADOW
- Don't receive dynamic shadows.
- 128 - EF_BONEMERGE_FASTCULL
- For use with EF_BONEMERGE. If set, the entity will use its parent's origin to calculate whether it is visible; if not set, it will set up parent's bones every frame if the parent is not in the PVS.
- 256 - EF_ITEM_BLINK
- Blink an item so that the user notices it. Added for Xbox 1, and really not very subtle.
- 512 - EF_PARENT_ANIMATES
- Assume that the parent entity is always animating. Causes it to realign every frame.
