prop_physics_multiplayer is a point entity available in all Source games. It is identical to prop_physics except that it bounces away from collision (if sv_turbophysics is enabled), which helps to avoid the prediction errors that normal physics objects typically generate, and that physics mode can be changed.

Bug:The Name keyvalue does not function correctly in Source 2007. A workaround is to create a logic_auto or logic_relay with an addoutput,targetname output.

Todo: Test if this issue has been fixed in later versions of Source.

Confirm:seems to be false bug because I don't see anything related to name in source code

  [todo tested in ?]

AltNames: In Left 4 Dead series, this entity is also tied to prop_physics. CPhysicsPropMultiplayer doesn't seem to be present and physicsmode keyvalue works when used on prop_physics

Keyvalues

Physics Mode (physicsmode) <choices>

Sets the physics mode used by the prop.

• 0: "Auto Detect"
• 1: "Solid, Server-side"
• 2: "Non-Solid, Server-side"
