Name (targetname) <string>[ Edit ]

The name that other entities refer to this entity by, via Inputs/Outputs or other keyvalues (e.g. parentname or target).
Also displayed in Hammer's 2D views and Entity Report.

• BreakableProp:

Explosion Damage (ExplodeDamage) <float>

If non-zero, when this entity breaks it will create an explosion that causes the specified amount of damage. See also Explosion Radius.

Explosion Radius (ExplodeRadius) <float>

If non-zero, when this entity breaks it will create an explosion with a radius of the specified amount. See also Explosion Damage.

Sound to make when punted (puntsound) <sound> (in all games since )

Sound to make when punted by gravity gun.

Break Model Message (BreakModelMessage) <string> (only in )

"If set, will use this break model message instead of the normal break behavior."

Breakable (common):

Performance Mode (PerformanceMode) <choices>

Used to limit the amount of gibs produced when this entity breaks, for performance reasons.

Choices

0: Normal 1: No Gibs 2: Full Gibs on All Platforms (Xbox 360, PS3, etc) 3: Reduced gibs

Min Damage to Hurt (minhealthdmg) <integer>

If a single hit to the object doesn't do at least this much damage, the prop won't take any of the damage it attempted to give.

Pressure Delay (PressureDelay) <float>

Seconds to delay breaking from pressure. Allows creaking/groaning sounds to play.

Health (health) <integer>

How close to breaking the object is.

Maximum Health (max_health) <integer>

Health cannot exceed this amount.

Physics Impact Damage Scale (physdamagescale) <float>

Multiplier for damage amount when this entity is hit by a physics object. With a value of 0 the entity will take no damage from physics.

Breakable By (BreakableType) <choices> (only in )

Who can break this?

0: Everyone 1: All Infected 2: Only Tanks

Non-Valve games

Enable Explosion Override (explosion_override) <choices> (only in ) !FGD Enable/disable explosion parameters override (explosion_particle, explosion_particle_liquid, explosion_attachment, explosion_soundscript and explosion_soundscript_liquid). 0: No 1: Yes Explosion Particle (explosion_particle) <string> (only in ) !FGD A particle system to use when this entity explodes. Explosion Particle Underwater (explosion_particle_liquid) <string> (only in ) !FGD A particle system to use when this entity explodes in water. Explosion Attachment Point (explosion_attachment) <string> (only in ) !FGD An attachment point to use for custom explosion particle system. Note:Only for model entities, even despite the fact that this is also present in brush entities. Explosion Sound Script (explosion_soundscript) <sound> (only in ) !FGD A sound script to use when this entity explodes. Explosion Sound Script Underwater (explosion_soundscript_liquid) <sound> (only in ) !FGD A sound script to use when this entity explodes in water. Important:Both explosion_soundscript and explosion_soundscript_liquid require a sound script, a raw sound file will not work.

• minhealthdmg

<integer> The prop will ignore any damage events if the damage is less than this amount.

• shadowcastdist

<integer> Use this to override how far this object casts shadows. 0 = default distance.

• physdamagescale

<float> Scales damage energy when this object is hit by a physics object.

Note:0 means this feature is disabled for backwards compatibility.

Set to 1.0 for materials as strong as flesh, smaller numbers indicate stronger materials.

• Damagetype

<boolean> If set, damage type is sharp, otherwise blunt.

• nodamageforces

<boolean> Used to determine whether or not damage should cause the brush to move.

• inertiaScale

<float> Scales the angular mass of an object. Used to hack angular damage and collision response.

• massScale

<float> A scale multiplier for the object's mass.

• overridescript

<string> A list of physics key/value pairs that are usually in a physics prop .qc file. Format is 'key,value,key,value,etc'.

• damagetoenablemotion

<integer> If specified, this object will start motion disabled. Once its health has dropped below this specified amount, it will enable motion.

• forcetoenablemotion

<float>If specified, this object will start motion disabled. Any impact that imparts a force greater than this value on the physbox will enable motion.

• BaseFadeProp:

Start Fade Dist (fademindist) <float>

Distance at which the entity starts to fade.

End Fade Dist (fademaxdist) <float>

Max fade distance at which the entity is visible.

• If start fade is <0, the entity will disappear instantly when end fade is hit.
• If end fade is <0, the entity won't disappear at all. (This is the default behavior.)

The values will scale appropriately if the entity is in a 3D Skybox.

Fade Scale (fadescale) <float>

If you specify so in worldspawn, or if the engine is running below DirectX 8 (DX7 in ), props will fade out even if the fade distances above aren't specified. This value gives you some control over when this happens: numbers smaller than 1 cause the prop to fade out at further distances, while those greater than 1 cause it to fade out at closer distances. Using 0 turns off the forced fade altogether. See also the QC command $noforcedfade.

• puntsound (in all games since )

<sound> Sound to make when punted
