Template:KV visiblebrush

Holder for a grab bag of keyvalues useful for visible brushes. Include |brush=1 on KV BaseEntity when using this. Add |b4l4d=1 to hide keyvalues added since that game. {{{noscroll}}}, {{{prep2}}}, and {{{nofgd}}} will be passed to the appropriate templates. (The following preview has this disabled, but it works when transcluded.

Texture Frame (texframeindex) <integer> !FGD

The frame number for any animated textures on this entity.

Minimum CPU Level (mincpulevel) <choices> (in all games since )

A user with a CPU level lower than this will not see this object rendered in-game. It's unclear how the CPU level is decided, but most systems are classified as "high".

Maximum CPU Level (maxcpulevel) <choices> (in all games since )

• 0: Default
• 1: Low
• 2: Medium
• 3: High

Minimum GPU Level (mingpulevel) <choices> (in all games since )

Maximum GPU Level (maxgpulevel) <choices> (in all games since )

• 0: Default

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
