Template:Base point It creates gibs when it's within the influence of a helicopter's rotor wash. Ideal for stirring up dust sprites from beneath a helicopter.

In code, it is represented by theCRotorWashShooterclass, defined in theeffects.cppfile.

Flags

Repeatable : [1]

Keyvalues

Time Under Rotor (rotortime) ([todo internal name (i)]) <float>

The average time it has to be under the rotor before it shoots a gib.

Time variance (rotortimevariance) ([todo internal name (i)]) <float>

The random amount to vary the time it has to be under the rotor before it shoots a gib.

GibShooter:

Number of Gibs (m_iGibs) <integer>

Total number of gibs to shoot each time the entity should shoot.

Delay between shots (delay) <float>

Delay (in seconds) between shooting each gib. If 0, all gibs shoot at once.

Gib Angles (Pitch Yaw Roll) (gibangles) <vector3>

The orientation of the spawned gibs.

Max angular velocity (gibanglevelocity) <float>

How fast (degrees/sec) the gibs should spin. They will spin on the x and y axes between 10% and 100% of this speed.

Gib Velocity (m_flVelocity) <float>

Speed of the fired gibs.

Course Variance (m_flVariance) <float>

How much variance in the direction gibs are fired.

Gib Life (m_flGibLife) <float>

Time in seconds for gibs to live +/- 5%.

Lighting Origin (lightingorigin) <targetname>

Select an entity (not info_lighting!) to specify a location to sample lighting from for all gibs spawned by this shooter, instead of their own origins.

Physics (simulation) <choices>

How the gibs will be physically simulated.

• 0: Point (very cheap) (gib)
• 1: Physics (gib)
• 2: Ragdoll (raggib)

RenderFields:

Render Mode (rendermode) <byte choices>

Set a non-standard rendering mode on this entity.

Render Modes

0: Normal 1: Color 2: Texture 3: Glow 4: Solid/Alphatest 5: Additive 6: Removed, does nothing 7: Additive Fractional Frame 8: Alpha Add 9: World Space Glow 10: Don't Render

Render FX (renderfx) <byte choices>

Various somewhat legacy alpha effects. See render effects.

Render Amount / Transparency (renderamt) <byte>

Transparency amount, requires a Render Mode other than Normal. 0 is invisible, 255 is fully visible.

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

Color tint.

Minimum / Maximum Effect Details Level (mincpulevel / maxcpulevel) <integer choices> (in all games since )

Don't render for players with Effect Details levels that exceed the minimum or maximum.

Choices

0: Default ("Low" for mincpulevel, "High" for maxcpulevel) 1: Low 2: Medium 3: High

Minimum / Maximum Shader Details Level (mingpulevel / maxgpulevel) <integer choices> (in all games since )

Don't render for players with Shader Details levels that exceed the minimum or maximum.

Choices

0: Default ("Low" for mingpulevel, "Very High" for maxgpulevel) 1: Low 2: Medium 3: High 4: Very High

Inputs

GibShooter:

Shoot

Force the gibshooter to create and shoot a gib.

RenderFields:

Alpha <integer 0–255>

Sets the entity's transparency to a number from 0 (invisible) to 255 (fully visible). Requires the entity to have its rendermode set to a number other than 0.

Color <color255RedirectInput/color32>

Sets an RGB color for the entity.
