Func pendulum (GoldSrc)

func_pendulum is a brush entity available in Half-Life.

Note:This entity exists in Source for legacy purposes, but is not in the FGD.

Entity description

The func_pendulum entity allows you to create an object that moves in the manner of a pendulum (think of a grandfather clock). Note that, as this is a rotating entity, an origin brush must be a part of it.

Keyvalues

Name (targetname) <string>

The targetname that other entities refer to this entity by.

Global Entity Name ([todo internal name (i)])

Pitch Yaw Roll (Y Z X) (angles) <QAngle>

This entity's orientation in the world. Pitch is rotation around the Y axis, yaw is the rotation around the Z axis, roll is the rotation around the X axis.

Render FX (renderfx) <choices>

Render FX mode to use, for special effects.

Render Mode (rendermode) <choices>

Render Mode to use.

0	Normal
1	Color
2	Texture
3	Glow

Render Amount (0-255) (renderamt) <integer>

Controls transparency when using another render mode then normal. 0 is completely invisible, and 255 is opaque. If render mode is solid, then all values except 0 are opaque.

Render Color (R G B) (rendercolor) <color255>

Color to use by the specified render mode.
Also used on brush entities to control the speed of scrolling textures; see func_conveyor for more information.

Texture Light Style ([todo internal name (i)]) <choices>

Speed ([todo internal name (i)])

Distance (deg) ([todo internal name (i)]) <integer>

(default: 90) - This is the distance, in degrees, the pendulum will swing. Use a negative value to reverse the direction of movement.

Damping (0-1000) ([todo internal name (i)]) <integer>

If you specify a value here, the pendulum will slowly narrow its movement so that it eventually stops moving. It will end in the middle of its swing (so, if you specify a distance of 90 degrees, it will eventually become motionless at its 45 degree position).

Damage inflicted when blocked ([todo internal name (i)]) <integer>

If the player impedes the movement of the rotating brush, he will be damaged according to the value you set here.

Minimum light level ([todo internal name (i)])

Flags

• 1 - Start ON
• 8 - Passable
• 16 - Auto-return - If this is enabled, it will cause the pendulum to return to the start position when it is triggered. This may produce unexpected results.
• 64 - X Axis
• 128 - Y Axis
• 2048 - Not in Deathmatch
