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.

Origin:

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

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

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.

RenderFields:

Render Mode (rendermode) <byte choices>

Set a non-standard rendering mode on this entity.

0: Normal 1: Color 2: Texture 3: Glow 4: Solid/Alphatest 5: Additive 6: Removed, does nothing 7: Additive Fractional Frame 8: Alpha Add 9: World Space Glow 10: Don't Render

Render FX (renderfx) <byte choices>

Various somewhat legacy alpha effects. See render effects.

Inputs

Lock

Lock the button, preventing it from functioning.

Unlock

Unlock the button, allowing it to function.

SetPosition <stringRedirectInput/string>

Move to a position. The parameter must be a value between 0 and 1, where 0 is the unrotated position and 1 is the rotated position + 'Distance'.

SetPositionImmediately <stringRedirectInput/string>

Immediately teleport to a position. The parameter must be a value between 0 and 1, where 0 is the unrotated position and 1 is the rotated position + 'Distance'.

_DisableUpdateTarget

Prevent the Position output from firing. Used to implement "jiggle when locked" by firing SetPosition inputs.

_EnableUpdateTarget

Allow the Position output to fire again. Used to implement "jiggle when locked" by firing SetPosition inputs.

Parentname:

SetParent <stringRedirectInput/string>

Move with this entity. See Entity Hierarchy (parenting).

SetParentAttachment <stringRedirectInput/string>

Change this entity to attach to a specific attachment point on its parent. The entity will teleport so that the position of its root bone matches that of the attachment. Entities must be parented before being sent this input.

SetParentAttachmentMaintainOffset <stringRedirectInput/string>

As above, but without teleporting. The entity retains its position relative to the attachment at the time of the input being received.

ClearParent

Removes this entity from the the movement hierarchy, leaving it free to move independently.

RenderFields:

Alpha <integer 0–255>

Sets the entity's transparency to a number from 0 (invisible) to 255 (fully visible). Requires the entity to have its rendermode set to a number other than 0.

Color <color255RedirectInput/color32>

Sets an RGB color for the entity.

Outputs

Position <integerRedirectInput/integer>

Fired whenever the button moves. The output is the position of button from 0 to 1, where 0 is the unrotated position and 1 is the rotated position + 'Distance'.

OnPressed <integerRedirectInput/integer>

Fired when the button is first pressed.

OnUnpressed <integerRedirectInput/integer>

Fired when the button is first released from being pressed.

OnFullyClosed

Fired when the button has reached position 1, the rotated position + 'Distance'.

OnFullyOpen

Fired when the button has reached position 0, the unrotated starting position.

OnReachedPosition

Fired whenever the button reaches a goal position: i.e. when it becomes open, becomes closed, or reaches the point specified by a 'SetPosition' input.
