The $surfaceprop command is used to apply a set of physic-interaction attributes to a Model (as a QC command) or a Brush Material (as a VMT command).
- The basic principle is the same in both cases; the $surfaceprop may affect :
- the object's density for physics calculations such as $automass,
- what sounds it makes when it collides,
- what particles it emits when shot,
- what decals it acquires when shot, etc
- what gibs it throws up if it breaks.
- HLMV can be used to generate blocks of .QC file that sets the surface properties correctly.
- If no $surfaceprop is defined, the "default" surfaceprop (which is something like concrete) is used.
Example Syntax
$surfaceprop "<surfaceproperty_name>"
where
- <surfaceproperty_name>
- is a brush surface property defined in the
/scripts/surfaceproperties.txtfile (see Material Surface Property), - or a model surface property defined in the
/scripts/surfaceproperties_hl2.txtfile.
