• Shadow:

Disable Shadows (disableshadows) <boolean>

Prevents the entity from creating cheap render-to-texture shadows, or lightmap shadows if the entity is a prop_static. Does not affect shadow mapping.

Disable Receiving Shadows (disablereceiveshadows) <boolean>

Prevent the entity from receiving dynamic shadows on itself.

Shadow Cast Distance (shadowcastdist) <integer> !FGD

Sets how far the entity casts dynamic shadows. 0 means default distance from the shadow_control entity.

Disable Shadow Depth (disableshadowdepth) <boolean> (in all games since )

Used to disable rendering into shadow depth (for projected textures) for this entity.

Disable flashlight (disableflashlight) <boolean> (in all games since )

Used to disable projected texture lighting and shadows on this entity.

Projected Texture Cache (shadowdepthnocache) <integer choices> (in all games since )

Used to hint projected texture system whether it is sufficient to cache shadow volume of this entity or to force render it every frame instead.

Choices

0 : Default 1 : No cache - render every frame 2 : Cache it - render only once

• Breakable (common):

Performance Mode (PerformanceMode) <choices>

Used to limit the amount of gibs produced when this entity breaks, for performance reasons.

Choices

0: Normal 1: No Gibs 2: Full Gibs on All Platforms (Xbox 360, PS3, etc) 3: Reduced gibs

Min Damage to Hurt (minhealthdmg) <integer>

If a single hit to the object doesn't do at least this much damage, the prop won't take any of the damage it attempted to give.

Pressure Delay (PressureDelay) <float>

Seconds to delay breaking from pressure. Allows creaking/groaning sounds to play.

Health (health) <integer>

How close to breaking the object is.

Maximum Health (max_health) <integer>

Health cannot exceed this amount.

Physics Impact Damage Scale (physdamagescale) <float>

Multiplier for damage amount when this entity is hit by a physics object. With a value of 0 the entity will take no damage from physics.

Breakable By (BreakableType) <choices> (only in )

Who can break this?

0: Everyone 1: All Infected 2: Only Tanks

Non-Valve games

Enable Explosion Override (explosion_override) <choices> (only in ) !FGD Enable/disable explosion parameters override (explosion_particle, explosion_particle_liquid, explosion_attachment, explosion_soundscript and explosion_soundscript_liquid). 0: No 1: Yes Explosion Particle (explosion_particle) <string> (only in ) !FGD A particle system to use when this entity explodes. Explosion Particle Underwater (explosion_particle_liquid) <string> (only in ) !FGD A particle system to use when this entity explodes in water. Explosion Attachment Point (explosion_attachment) <string> (only in ) !FGD An attachment point to use for custom explosion particle system. Note:Only for model entities, even despite the fact that this is also present in brush entities. Explosion Sound Script (explosion_soundscript) <sound> (only in ) !FGD A sound script to use when this entity explodes. Explosion Sound Script Underwater (explosion_soundscript_liquid) <sound> (only in ) !FGD A sound script to use when this entity explodes in water. Important:Both explosion_soundscript and explosion_soundscript_liquid require a sound script, a raw sound file will not work.

Parentname:

Parent (parentname) <targetname>

Specifies a movement parent. An entity will maintain its initial offset from its parent. An attachment point can be added to the end of the name, separated by a comma.

Global:

Global Entity Name (globalname) <string>

Name by which this entity is linked to another entity in a different map. When the player transitions to a new map, entities in the new map with globalnames matching entities in the previous map will have the previous map's state copied over their state.

• propdata

<choices> Set to the best approximation of the size and material of this entity's brushes. If set, it will override this entity's health and damage taken from various weapons. See the propdata.txt file in the scripts directory of your MOD to get a detailed list of what each entry specifies.
