$collisiontext

Stub

This article or section is a stub. You can help by expanding it.

The $collisiontext QC command is used to define a breakable model's custom gibset (generic gibs are defined by $keyvalues - prop_data - breakable_model).

Tip:Use $autocenter to ensure gibs spawn in the correct position relative to the breaking model.

• Todo:  is propdata also required when using $collisiontext ?

QC Syntax Example

$collisiontext
{ 
	break { "model" "mycustomgib1" "health" "1" "fadetime" "0" } 
	break { "model" "mycustomgib2" "health" "1" "fadetime" "0" } 
}

Break Options

Options highlighted in Red are mandatory.

model <string> OR ragdoll <string>

• Location of *.mdl file to spawn.
  Note: Model must be compiled with ragdoll physics to use "ragdoll".

Example: "model" "props_junk/wood_pallet001a_chunka" OR "ragdoll" "props_junk/wood_pallet001a_chunka"

offset <float float float>

• Offset model from its placementOrigin in inches with 3D co-ordinates (X Y Z).

Example: "offset" "8.50 -6.00 32.75"

health <int>

• Overide default base health values in propdata. This sometimes had to be placed in the KeyValues line.

Example: "health" "100"

fadetime <int>

• Time that spawned gibs start to fade and disappear. Values should be specified in seconds.

Example: "fadetime" "30"

fademindist <int>

• Distance from player to gib to start fading from view.
  Note: This must be used in conjunction with fademaxdist to work and of lesser value.

Example: "fademindist" "16"

fademaxdist <int>

• Distance from player to gib to fade completely from view.
  Note: This must be used in conjunction with fademindist to work and of greater value.

Example: "fademaxdist" "32"

debris <boolean>

• Flag gib model as debris limiting its physical interaction with other gibs. This should be used on gibs that are small to prevent them from getting stuck with each other. 0 = Off, 1 = On.

Example: "debris" "1"

burst <int>

• Adds a burst force allowing the gib to be pushed further outward when the parent model breaks.

Example: "burst" "50"

placementbone

• Todo: compared to $autocenter's "placementOrigin" ?

placementattachment

• Todo: compared to $autocenter's "placementOrigin" ?
