Weapon physcannon

Entity description

A gravity gun, used to manipulate physics objects in the game world. In Half-Life 2: Deathmatch, the player spawns with a gravity gun by default.

Before it is picked up, the gravity gun also follows all physics rules as if it were a prop_physics.

Tip:To upgrade the gravity gun to the super gravity gun, you will have to set up an env_global entity to enable it.

Keyvalues

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.

See also:  Generic Keyvalues, Inputs and Outputs available to all entities

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.

• BaseFadeProp:

Start Fade Dist (fademindist) <float>

Distance at which the entity starts to fade.

End Fade Dist (fademaxdist) <float>

Max fade distance at which the entity is visible.

• If start fade is <0, the entity will disappear instantly when end fade is hit.
• If end fade is <0, the entity won't disappear at all. (This is the default behavior.)

The values will scale appropriately if the entity is in a 3D Skybox.

Fade Scale (fadescale) <float>

If you specify so in worldspawn, or if the engine is running below DirectX 8 (DX7 in ), props will fade out even if the fade distances above aren't specified. This value gives you some control over when this happens: numbers smaller than 1 cause the prop to fade out at further distances, while those greater than 1 cause it to fade out at closer distances. Using 0 turns off the forced fade altogether. See also the QC command $noforcedfade.
