Entity Description

A prop that physically simulates and can be articulated with internal joints. The joint constraints are part of the physics model.

Keyvalues

<integer> Starting position for ragdoll
<integer> Initial Bodygroup Setting - Specify the bodygroups. The ragdoll will initialize in this position.
<string> Filled in by the engine via wc_update_entity, do not edit by hand except to clear.
  • 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 Source 2006), 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.

Flags

  • 4 : Debris - Don't collide with the player or other debris
  • 8192 : Allow Dissolve

Inputs

Skin <integerRedirectInput/integer>
Changes the model's skin to the specified number.
SetBodyGroup <integerRedirectInput/integer>
Set the model's body group.
AlternativeSorting <booleanRedirectInput/boolean>
Uses an alternative method for telling which objects are in front of others. Use if this object draws incorrectly when seen through transparent things.
SetModelScale <stringRedirectInput/string> (in all games since Alien Swarm) (also in Source 2013)
Sets the model scale. Takes two values separated by a space. The first is the target model scale. The second value is the number of seconds the change in scale will be spread over. If there is no second value, the model will scale instantly.
Warning.pngWarning:Negative or extremely high values can cause crashes!

Shadow:

DisableShadow
Turn dynamic shadows off for this entity. Identical to applying  EF_NOSHADOW.
EnableShadow
Turn dynamic shadows on for this entity.
DisableReceivingFlashlight  (in all games since Portal 2)
This object will not receive light or shadows from projected textures.
EnableReceivingFlashlight  (in all games since Portal 2)
This object may receive light or shadows from projected textures.

Reflection:

DisableDrawInFastReflection  (in all games since Portal 2)
Turns off rendering of this entity in reflections when using $reflectonlymarkedentities in water material.
EnableDrawInFastReflection  (in all games since Portal 2)
Turn on rendering of this entity in reflections when using $reflectonlymarkedentities in water material.
ToggleDraw:
DisableDraw  (in all games since Portal 2)
Add the EF_NODRAW flag to this entity. Some entities manage this on their own so be aware you can override that value.
EnableDraw  (in all games since Portal 2)
Remove the EF_NODRAW flag from this entity. Some entities manage this on their own so be aware you can override that value.
