Not to be confused with prop_energy_ball.
prop_combine_ball is a model entity available in 
Half-Life 2 series and 
Portal series. It is a high-energy ball that disintegrates any organic material in its path. It is primarily found in the Citadel as an energy source, and weaponized by elite Combine soldiers.
See func_combine_ball_spawner and point_combine_ball_launcher for an entity that spawns these.
A prop that physically simulates as a single rigid body. It can be constrained to other physics objects using hinges or other constraints. It can also be configured to break when it takes enough damage.
Note:Default model: models/effects/combineball.mdlKeyvalues
- Name (targetname) <string>[ Edit ]
- The name that other entities refer to this entity by, via Inputs/Outputs or other keyvalues (e.g.
parentnameortarget).
Also displayed in Hammer's 2D views and Entity Report.See also: Generic Keyvalues, Inputs and Outputs available to all entities
Inputs
- Explode
- Explodes the pellet.
- FadeAndRespawn !FGD
- Quietly fades out the combine ball in 0.1s, presumably so an associated ball launcher can spawn another one.
- Socketed !FGD
- Unused behavior. In Episodic, invokes undefined Alyx response concept TLK_BALLSOCKETED and deletes this entity.
Flags
- SF_COMBINE_BALL_BOUNCING_IN_SPAWNER : [65536] !FGD
