Func breakable

Template:Base brush It can take damage and break apart, optionally producing gibs.

Note:If your func_breakable will not break, this may have to do with the prop_data setting. Some prop types will override the health of the func_breakable, making it unbreakable. See below.

Keyvalues

Min Damage to Hurt ([todo internal name (i)]) <integer>

The brush will ignore any damage events if the damage is less than this amount.

Minimum Light Level ([todo internal name (i)]) <string>

The minimum level of ambient light that hits this brush.

Confirm:Color depends on the environment.

Physics Impact Damage Scale ([todo internal name (i)]) <float>

Scales damage energy when this object is hit by a physics object.
Set to 1.0 for materials as strong as flesh, smaller numbers indicate stronger materials.

Note:0 means this feature is disabled for backwards compatibility

Breakable (brush):

Prop Data (propdata) <integer choices>

Set to the best approximation of the size and material of this entity's brushes. If set, this will override Strength and Material Type. If set, it will override this entity's health and damage taken from various weapons. See prop_data base types for what each entry specifies.

Choices

Note:Some settings can make the brush unbreakable. 0: None 1: Wooden.Tiny 2: Wooden.Small 3: Wooden.Medium 4: Wooden.Large 5: Wooden.Huge 6: Metal.Small 7: Metal.Medium 8: Metal.Large 9: Cardboard.Small 10: Cardboard.Medium 11: Cardboard.Large 12: Stone.Small 13: Stone.Medium 14: Stone.Large 15: Stone.Huge 16: Glass.Small 17: Plastic.Small 18: Plastic.Medium 19: Plastic.Large 20: Pottery.Small 21: Pottery.Medium 22: Pottery.Large 23: Pottery.Huge 24: Glass.Window

Strength/Health (health) <integer>

The damage to take before breaking. The brush will not break from damage if this is 0.

Material Type (material) <integer choices>

Set to the material type of the brush. Decides what sounds to make when damaged, and what gibs to produce when broken.

Choices

0: Glass - As stated, uses glass gibs and sounds. Gibs may not match with material used. 1: Wood - As stated, uses wood gibs and sounds. Gibs may not match with material used, and may be too big for certain brushes. 2: Metal - As stated, uses metal gibs and sounds. Gibs are very small, and evidently made for vents. May not match material. 3: Flesh - Uses HL1 gib death sounds and wood gibs. Not much practicality for this type unless one is making a meat slab (With proper gibs, of course). 4: CinderBlock - Uses concrete gibs and sounds. Gibs may not match with material and be too big for the brush. 5: Ceiling Tile - Uses tile sounds, wood gibs and HL1 plaster gib death sound. 6: Computer - Uses spark sounds and wood gibs, coupled with an HL1 gib death sound. 7: Unbreakable Glass - Uses glass sounds. Using this material type overrides any Strength value previously set to 0, making it unbreakable. 8: Rocks - Uses concrete gibs and sounds. Gibs may not match with material, and don't even look like rocks to begin with. 9: Web !FGD - Only functional in Half Life Source. 10: None

Gibs Direction (explosion) <integer choices>

Used to decide which direction to throw gibs when broken.

Choices

0: Random 1: Relative to Attack 2: Use Precise Gib Dir (see below)

Precise Gib Direction (gibdir) <angle>

An exact direction in which to throw gibs when breaking. Be sure to select "Use Precise Gib Dir" in Gibs Direction!

Damaging it Doesn't Push It (nodamageforces) <boolean>

When enabled the brush will move in response to damage.

Gib Model (gibmodel) <model path>

Specify a custom gib model to break into, overriding the Material Type.

Note:Custom gib model is only precached in Half-Life: Source and Half-Life Deathmatch: Source.

Code Fix:Remove the #ifdefs from lines 457 and 1077 in func_break.cpp, as well as their associated #endifs.

Spawn On Break (spawnobject) <integer choices>

When broken, an entity of the selected type will be created.

Note:Only these entities may be spawned. This can be fixed by modifying func_break.cpp.

Workaround:Use the OnBreak output to spawn a point_template.

Explode Magnitude (explodemagnitude) <integer>

If non-zero, when this entity breaks it will create an explosion that causes the specified amount of damage.

Bug:Non-functional. Will only explode if the explosion radius is > 0, yet the radius cannot be set as a keyvalue and the code does not generate a value for it.  (tested in: )

Obsolete keyvalues

Dead model (deadmodel) <model path> !FGD  Deprecated. Purpose unknown. Does absolutely nothing inside code. Shards (shards)  !FGD  Deprecated. Purpose unknown. Does absolutely nothing inside code. Lip (lip)  !FGD  Deprecated. Purpose unknown. Does absolutely nothing inside code.

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.

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.

Origin:

Origin (X Y Z) (origin) <origin>

The position of this entity's center in the world. Rotating entities typically rotate around their origin.

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.

This object will not receive light or shadows from projected textures.

EnableReceivingFlashlight  (in all games since )

This object may receive light or shadows from projected textures.

RenderFields:

Alpha <integer 0–255>

Outputs

BreakableBrush:

OnBreak

!activator = entity that breaks the object
!caller = this entity
Fired when this object breaks.

OnHealthChanged <floatRedirectOutput/float>

!activator = entity that caused the health change
!caller = this entity
Fired whenever the health of the breakable has increased or decreased. This output automatically puts the new health amount as a decimal percent (e.g. 45% = 0.45) into the parameter box for inputs, if the mapper does not override the parameter with something else.
