CBaseAnimating

CBaseAnimating: World Model (model) <model path> The model this entity should appear as. 128-character limit. Skin (skin) <integer> Some models have multiple skins. This value selects from the index, starting with 0. May be overridden by game code. Tip:Hammer's model browser automatically updates this value if you use it to view different skins. Model Scale (modelscale) <float> (in all games since ) (also in ) A multiplier for the size of the model. Tip:In Hammer++ with a prop selected in 3D view, hold Ctrl and scroll the mouse wheel to change the modelscale in increments of 0.5. Holding ⇧ Shift will scale it in smaller increments of 0.05. Bodygroup (body / SetBodyGroup) <integer> Some models have multiple submodels. This value selects from the index, starting with 0. May be overridden by animations and/or game code. Note:If both body and SetBodyGroup are present (even if set to 0), body will be prioritized. Sequence (sequence) <integer> !FGD Default animation sequence for the model to be playing after spawning. May be overridden by game code. Lighting Origin (lightingorigin) <targetname> Select an entity (not info_lighting!) from which to sample lighting and cubemaps instead of the entity's $illumposition. Shadow: Disable Shadows (disableshadows) <boolean> Prevents the entity from creating cheap render-to-texture shadows, or lightmap shadows if the entity is a prop_static. Does not affect shadow mapping. Disable Receiving Shadows (disablereceiveshadows) <boolean> Prevent the entity from receiving dynamic shadows on itself. Shadow Cast Distance (shadowcastdist) <integer> !FGD 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 Render in Fast Reflections (drawinfastreflection) <boolean> (in all games since ) If enabled, this entity will render in fast water reflections (i.e. when a water material specifies $reflectonlymarkedentities) and in the world impostor pass.
