Trigger portal cleanser: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 04:08, 30 March 2018

Template:Portal series brush It removes objects and portals when the player touches it. It is used to create the "Material Emancipation Grid" / "Fizzler" particle-field in Portal.

Warning:In Portal, if a player dies inside this entity, even if they are filtered out of it, the game will crash!

Tip:To directly apply the dissolve effect to a specific entity, use env_entity_dissolver.

Visible ([todo internal name (i)]) <boolean> (in all games since ): If the fizzler is visible. This also controls if the sound effects are played when powered on and off.

Use Scanline ([todo internal name (i)]) <boolean> (in all games since ): If the field uses a scanline. This only works correctly for vertical fields aligned to an axis.

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.

BaseTrigger
Filter Name `(filtername)` `<filter>` A filter entity to test potential activators against. Start Disabled `(StartDisabled)` `<boolean>` Stay dormant until activated (with the`Enable`input).

BaseTrigger
Everything (not including physics debris) `: [64]` Clients (Survivors, Special Infected, Tanks ) `: [1]` Only clients in vehicles `: [32]` Only clients not in vehicles `: [512]` Disallow Bots (removed since ) `: [4096]` NPCs (Common Infected, Witches ) `: [2]` Only player ally NPCs `: [16]` Only NPCs in vehicles (respects player ally flag) `: [2048]` Physics Objects (not including physics debris) `: [8]` Physics debris (include also physics debris) `: [1024]` ~~Pushables (Passes entities with classname `func_pushable`) `: [4]`~~ Deprecated. Equivalent to using Everything + `filter_activator_class` that filters `func_pushable`.

FizzleTouchingPortals (in all games since ): Cause any portals in our volume to immediately fizzle.

Reflection:

DisableDrawInFastReflection (in all games since ): Turns off rendering of this entity in reflections when using $reflectonlymarkedentities in water material.

EnableDrawInFastReflection (in all games since ): Turn on rendering of this entity in reflections when using $reflectonlymarkedentities in water material.

BaseTrigger
`Toggle` Toggles this trigger between enabled and disabled states. `Enable` Enable trigger `Disable` Disable trigger `TouchTest` (in all games since ) Triggers either the `OnTouching` or `OnNotTouching` outputs for whether anything is touching this entity. Bug:Sleeping prop_physics will never fire "OnTouching". Also applies to entities using prop_physics as base. (tested in: ) `StartTouch` (in all games since ) !FGD Behave as if the `!caller` entity had just entered the trigger volume. Accepts non-physical entities. `EndTouch` (in all games since ) !FGD Behave as if `!caller` had just exited the trigger volume. `DisableAndEndTouch` (only in ) Disables this trigger and calls `EndTouch` on all currently-touching entities.

OnDissolveBox: Fired when a box is dissolved by the trigger.
Note:in order for this output to fire, the object it dissolves must have the world model "models/props/metal_box.mdl"

BaseTrigger
`OnStartTouch` `!activator` = entity that caused this output `!caller =` this entity Fired when a valid entity starts touching this trigger. `OnStartTouchAll` `!activator` = entity that caused this output `!caller =` this entity Fired when a valid entity starts touching this trigger, and no other entities are touching it. If there are any other entities touching the trigger when a new one begins to touch, only `OnStartTouch` will fire. `OnEndTouch` `!activator` = entity that caused this output `!caller =` this entity Fired when a valid entity stops touching this trigger. Note:Will also fire for entities touching it when trigger is disabled via `Disable` input Warning:This includes entities which are deleted while inside the trigger. In this case `!activator` will be invalid. Warning:`OnEndTouch` can fire before `OnStartTouch` under certain circumstances^[How?] where both are fired on the same tick and each have the same delay. Fix:Add a slight delay to `OnEndTouch`. `OnEndTouchAll` `!activator` = entity that caused this output `!caller =` this entity Fired when all valid entities stop touching this trigger. `OnTouching` (in all games since ) `!activator = !caller =` this entity Fired if something is currently touching this trigger when `TouchTest` is fired. `OnNotTouching` (in all games since ) `!activator = !caller =` this entity Fired if nothing is currently touching this trigger when `TouchTest` is fired.
