Env physexplosion

Entity Description

Env_physexplosion applies a physical force to physics objects within its radius, anything from a gentle nudge to a big explosion, depending on its magnitude. The explosion itself is not visible; for visible explosions, use env_explosion.

If the No Damage - Only Force flag isn't set, the object will also take damage from the explosion. (Damage is applied to the object only - the explosion will never directly damage the player.)

Env_physexplosions set to emit a fairly low force can be useful to get lights swinging or floating debris moving.

Note:Beyond a certain point, increasing the magnitude will not increase the size of the force of the explosion. If you require a bigger explosion than this, create multiple identical copies of the entity.

Keyvalues

• Template:Kv targetname
• Template:Kv parentname
• magnitude

<float> Amount of physics force applied by the explosion.

• radius

<float> Clamp radius (0 = auto) If specified, the radius in which the explosion damages entities. If unspecified, the radius will be based on the magnitude.

• targetentityname

<target_destination> If specified, the explosion will only affect the matching entity.

Flags

• 1 : No Damage - Only Force

Don't make the object take damage from the explosion.

Inputs

• Template:I targetname
• Template:I parentname
• Explode

Trigger the explosion.

Outputs

• Template:O targetname
