Weapon portalgun

Template:Portal series point This is the entity that is seen before picking up the portal gun, and what shoots portals. It can lift up to 85kg.

Note:In Portal 2, players will spawn already holding a portal gun on all maps with the sp_ prefix (including custom ones). This can be avoided in three ways:

A weapon_portalgun firing.

• Remove the prefix.
• Use a trigger_weapon_strip.
• (If you're making a mod,) copy common\Portal 2\portal2\scripts\vscripts\transitions\sp_transition_list.nut to scripts\vscripts\transitions inside your mod folder and modify it for your mod.

Also displayed in Hammer's 2D views and Entity Report.

See also:  Generic Keyvalues, Inputs and Outputs available to all entities

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.

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.
