Template:Entity Originally found in Spirit of Half-Life, it is used to place a model (usually an MDL) on a map, with optional animation and no collision. Env_models do not have any collision, and will not cast shadows with normal compilers. To workaorund this create a brush-based collision mesh and tie it to a func_wall with renderamt set to 0 (aka invisible). Set the texture scale to 4.0 or higher to avoid wasting allocblock on invisible faces. This will also cast lightmap shadows, unless alphatest ({) textures are used.}} }} In the official .fgd file it is descibed as "new alternative to cyclers".

Key Values

Name (targetname) <string>
The targetname that other entities refer to this entity by.
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.
Render FX (renderfx) <choices>
Render FX mode to use, for special effects.
Value Description
0 Normal
1 Slow Pulse
2 Fast Pulse
3 Slow Wide Pulse
4 Fast Wide Pulse
5 Slow Fade Away
6 Fast Fade Away
7 Slow Become Solid
8 Fast Become Solid
9 Slow Strobe
10 Fast Strobe
11 Faster Strobe
12 Slow Flicker
13 Fast Flicker
14 Constant Glow
15 Distort
16 Hologram (Distort + fade)
Render Mode (rendermode) <choices>
Render Mode to use.
Value Description
0 Normal
1 Color
2 Texture
3 Glow
4 Solid
5 Additive
Render Amount (0-255) (renderamt) <integer>
Controls transparency when using another render mode then normal. 0 is completely invisible, and 255 is opaque. If render mode is solid, then all values except 0 are opaque.
Render Color (R G B) (rendercolor) <color255>
Color to use by the specified render mode.
Also used on brush entities to control the speed of scrolling textures; see func_conveyor for more information.


Model name (model) <model path>
Path to the model to be displayed.
Skin (skin) <integer>
Display different skins of the model if aviable.
Body (body) <integer>
Display different sub-models of the model if aviable.
Sequence when on (m_iszSequence_On) <string>
Displays the animation sequence of the model when on.
Behaviour when on (m_iAction_On) <choices>
Behaviou of the model when on.
Value Description
0 Freeze when sequence ends
1 Loop
2 Change state when sequence ends
Sequence when off (m_iszSequence_Off) <string>
Displays the animation sequence of the model when off.
Behaviour when off (m_iAction_Off) <choices>
Behaviou of the model when off.
Value Description
0 Freeze when sequence ends
1 Loop
2 Change state when sequence ends

Flags
