Entity Description

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

Keyvalues

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

World Model (model) <model path>
The model this entity should appear as. 128-character limit.
Skin (skin) <integer>
Some models have multiple skins. This value selects from the index, starting with 0. May be overridden by game code.
Tip.pngTip:Hammer's model browser automatically updates this value if you use it to view different skins.
Model Scale (modelscale) <float> (in all games since Alien Swarm) (also in Source 2013)
A multiplier for the size of the model.
Tip.pngTip:In Hammer++ Hammer++ with a prop selected in 3D view, hold Ctrl and scroll the mouse wheel to change the modelscale in increments of 0.5. Holding Shift will scale it in smaller increments of 0.05.
Bodygroup (body / SetBodyGroup) <integer>
Some models have multiple submodels. This value selects from the index, starting with 0. May be overridden by animations and/or game code.
Note.pngNote:If both body and SetBodyGroup are present (even if set to 0), body will be prioritized.
Sequence (sequence) <integer> !FGD
Default animation sequence for the model to be playing after spawning. May be overridden by game code.
Lighting Origin (lightingorigin) <targetname>
Select an entity (not info_lighting!) from which to sample lighting and cubemaps instead of the entity's $illumposition.

Shadow:

Disable Shadows (disableshadows) <boolean>
Prevents the entity from creating cheap render-to-texture shadows, or lightmap shadows if the entity is a prop_static. Does not affect shadow mapping.
Disable Receiving Shadows (disablereceiveshadows) <boolean>
Prevent the entity from receiving dynamic shadows on itself.
Shadow Cast Distance (shadowcastdist) <integer> !FGD
Sets how far the entity casts dynamic shadows. 0 means default distance from the shadow_control entity.
Disable Shadow Depth (disableshadowdepth) <boolean> (in all games since Portal 2)
Used to disable rendering into shadow depth (for projected textures) for this entity.
Disable flashlight (disableflashlight) <boolean> (in all games since Portal 2)
Used to disable projected texture lighting and shadows on this entity.
Projected Texture Cache (shadowdepthnocache) <integer choices> (in all games since Portal 2)
Used to hint projected texture system whether it is sufficient to cache shadow volume of this entity or to force render it every frame instead.
Choices
  • 0 : Default
  • 1 : No cache - render every frame
  • 2 : Cache it - render only once
Render in Fast Reflections (drawinfastreflection) <boolean> (in all games since Portal 2)
If enabled, this entity will render in fast water reflections (i.e. when a water material specifies $reflectonlymarkedentities) and in the world impostor pass.
<integer> Starting position for ragdoll
<integer> Initial Bodygroup Setting - Specify the bodygroups. The ragdoll will initialize in this position.
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.
Minimum / Maximum DX Level (mindxlevel / maxdxlevel) <integer choices> (removed since Left 4 Dead)
The entity will not exist if the engine is running outside the given range of DirectX Versions.
Choices
Warning.pngWarning:If these are used, the object may break when the user switches their DirectX settings.[missing string]
  • angleOverride
<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

  • RenderFields:
Alpha <integer 0–255>
Sets the entity's transparency to a number from 0 (invisible) to 255 (fully visible). Requires the entity to have its rendermode set to a number other than 0.
Color <color255RedirectInput/color32>
Sets an RGB color for the entity.
  • Studiomodel:
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.
