KeyValues

Slave name <targetname>

Name of any door(s) that should open and close at the same time as this one. You could also give them all the same name.

Hardware Type <choices>

How the door is opened. The mechanism only appears in the game, not in Hammer.

• None
• Lever (i.e. door handle)
• Push bar
• Keypad

Spawn Position <choices>

State the door should begin in. Check the door's angles to see forward/backward orientation.

• Closed
• Open forward
• Open back
• Ajar

Ajar Angles <angle>

If "Spawn Position" is "ajar", these are the angles to spawn at instead of being open or closed.

Hinge Axis <axis>

^[Todo]

Note: despite Hinge Axis values, the door can only rotate on the Z Axis

Rotation Distance <float>

Number of degrees that the door should open, both forward and backward.

Speed <float>

In degrees/second.

Fully Open Sound <string>

Fully Closed Sound <string>

Moving Sound <string>

Locked Sound <string>

Unlocked Sound <string>

Optional overrides to the sounds played by the door.

Delay Before close <int>

Number of seconds the door waits until closing by itself. -1 means never auto-close.

Damage Inflicted When Blocked <int>

If an entity is blocking the door from moving, inflict this much damage per frame.

Force Closed <bool>

If set, this door will close no matter what. Useful for doors that have to close even if the player tries to block them with objects.

Open Direction <choices>

Force the door to open only forwards or only backwards. It will normally try to swing away from the entity that opened it, unless it is being blocked on the other side.

• Both directions
• Forward only
• Backward only

Health <int>

Deprecated.

CBaseAnimating:

World Model (model) <model path>

The model this entity should appear as. 128-character limit.

Skin (skin) <integer>

Some models have multiple skins. This value selects from the index, starting with 0. May be overridden by game code.

Tip:Hammer's model browser automatically updates this value if you use it to view different skins.

Model Scale (modelscale) <float> (in all games since ) (also in )

A multiplier for the size of the model.

Tip:In Hammer++ with a prop selected in 3D view, hold Ctrl and scroll the mouse wheel to change the modelscale in increments of 0.5. Holding ⇧ Shift will scale it in smaller increments of 0.05.

Bodygroup (body / SetBodyGroup) <integer>

Some models have multiple submodels. This value selects from the index, starting with 0. May be overridden by animations and/or game code.

Note:If both body and SetBodyGroup are present (even if set to 0), body will be prioritized.

Sequence (sequence) <integer> !FGD

Default animation sequence for the model to be playing after spawning. May be overridden by game code.

Lighting Origin (lightingorigin) <targetname>

Select an entity (not info_lighting!) from which to sample lighting and cubemaps instead of the entity's $illumposition.

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

Render in Fast Reflections (drawinfastreflection) <boolean> (in all games since )

If enabled, this entity will render in fast water reflections (i.e. when a water material specifies $reflectonlymarkedentities) and in the world impostor pass.

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.

Pitch Yaw Roll (Y Z X) (angles) <QAngle>

This entity's orientation in the world. Pitch is rotation around the Y axis, yaw is the rotation around the Z axis, roll is the rotation around the X axis.

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.

Name (targetname) <string>[ Edit ]

The name that other entities refer to this entity by, via Inputs/Outputs or other keyvalues (e.g. parentname or target).
Also displayed in Hammer's 2D views and Entity Report.

Custom door models

1. Create ACT_IDLE, ACT_DOOR_LOCKED and ACT_DOOR_OPEN activities.
2. Add a door_options $keyvalues block:

		default // Fallbacks if something is missing elsewhere
		{
			open	Doors.FullOpen1
			close	Doors.FullClose1
			move	Doors.Move1
			locked		DoorHandles.Locked1
			unlocked	DoorHandles.Unlocked1
		}

		{
			locked		DoorSound.Null
			unlocked	DoorSound.Null
		}
		hardware1 // Push bar
		{
			locked		DoorHandles.Locked1
			unlocked	DoorHandles.Unlocked1

		}

		skin1  // Skin-specific sounds, including a custom surfaceprop
