Func nobuild

Entity description

A func_nobuild entity will restrict an engineer from building in the specific area it contains.

Normal Use

A func_nobuild area should come in contact with the top side of the brush you don't want the engineer to build upon. The func_nobuild should also be at least 96 units high to keep an engineer from bypassing it by jumping above it. Keep in mind that a func_respawnroom entity also blocks an engineer's ability to build and thus a func_nobuild does not have to be placed in the same location as a func_respawnroom.

Note:Keep in mind that a func_nobuild only prevents the center of engineer's buildable structures from being placed on top of a surface, not the whole structure; parts of the buildable can actually overlap the func_nobuild area.

The required 96 units for each accessible side.

Ledges

High ledges present an element a bit different from a standard floor surface. If there is a ledge you do not want an engineer to build upon, the func_nobuild brush should not only be 96 units above the surface, but 96 units below the surface as well, with the func_nobuild brush overlapping the ledge. It should also stick out 96 units from all accessible sides of the ledge. If the ledge is less then 96 units above a larger flat surface, the func_nobuild only needs to touch the top of the surface the ledge is above.

Inputs

Parentname:

SetParent <stringRedirectInput/string>

Move with this entity. See Entity Hierarchy (parenting).

SetParentAttachment <stringRedirectInput/string>

Change this entity to attach to a specific attachment point on its parent. The entity will teleport so that the position of its root bone matches that of the attachment. Entities must be parented before being sent this input.

SetParentAttachmentMaintainOffset <stringRedirectInput/string>

As above, but without teleporting. The entity retains its position relative to the attachment at the time of the input being received.

ClearParent

Removes this entity from the the movement hierarchy, leaving it free to move independently.

SetActive

SetInactive

Deactivates the nobuild zone.

ToggleActive
