Parentname:

Parent (parentname) <targetname>

Specifies a movement parent. An entity will maintain its initial offset from its parent. An attachment point can be added to the end of the name, separated by a comma.

• angles

<angles> Gib Direction (Pitch Yaw Roll) - The direction the gibs will fly.

• m_iGibs

<integer> Number of Gibs - Total number of gibs to shoot each time it's activated.

• delay

<float> Delay between shots - Delay (in seconds) between shooting each gib. If 0, all gibs shoot at once.

• gibangles

<angles> Gib Angles (Pitch Yaw Roll) - The orientation of the spawned gibs.

• m_flVelocity

<float> Gib Velocity - Speed of the fired gibs.

• m_flVariance

<float> Course Variance - How much variance in the direction gibs are fired.

• m_flGibLife

<float> Gib Life - Time in seconds for gibs to live +/- 5%.

• lightingorigin

<target_destination> Select an info_lighting to specify a location to sample lighting from for all gibs spawned by this shooter, instead of their own origins.

• RenderFields:

Render Mode (rendermode) <byte choices>

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

Color tint.

• skin

<integer> Gib Skin - Some models have multiple versions of their textures, called skins. Set this to a number other than 0 to use that skin on all gibs produced by this shooter.

• gibanglevelocity (in all games since )

<angle> Max angular velocity

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

• lightingorigin (in all games since )

<target_destination> Select an info_lighting to specify a location to sample lighting from for all gibs spawned by this shooter, instead of their own origins.
