prop_physics_multiplayer is a model 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.

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"
• 3: "Non-Solid, Client-side"

Important:If physicsmode is 0 or 3 then this can create a clientside physical prop which cannot be controlled via I/O, vscript or picked up and doesn't count towards server entity limits other than for a moment during spawning.

Warning:In singleplayer where save/load is available it won't get saved into a save file. It instead always respawns at its original position, but only if at least one server-side entity uses the same model. This is because otherwise the model is not precached (see output of command cl_precacheinfo modelprecache)

Note:Other Keyvalues / Inputs / Outputs are same as prop_physics.
