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.

• Origin:

Origin (X Y Z) (origin) <origin>

The position of this entity's center in the world. Rotating entities typically rotate around their origin.

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.

• RenderFields:

Render Mode (rendermode) <byte choices>

Set a non-standard rendering mode on this entity.

0: Normal 1: Color 2: Texture 3: Glow 4: Solid/Alphatest 5: Additive 6: Removed, does nothing 7: Additive Fractional Frame 8: Alpha Add 9: World Space Glow 10: Don't Render

Render FX (renderfx) <byte choices>

Various somewhat legacy alpha effects. See render effects.

Render Amount / Transparency (renderamt) <byte>

Transparency amount, requires a Render Mode other than Normal. 0 is invisible, 255 is fully visible.

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

Color tint.

• disablereceiveshadows <boolean>
• disableshadows <boolean>
• maxspeed <integer>

The maximum rotation speed of the brushes, in degrees per second.

• fanfriction <integer>

The amount of rotational friction. Value must be between 0 and 100 %.

• message <sound>

Sound to play while rotating.

• volume <integer>

The volume of the rotation sound. 0–10, where 10 is loudest.

• _minlight <string>

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.

• DisableShadow

• EnableShadow

Turn shadow on.

• SetSpeed <integer>

Set the speed as a ratio of the specified Max Rotation Speed, where 0 is stopped and 1 is maxspeed.

• Start

Start the rotator rotating.

• Stop

Stop the rotator from rotating.

• StopAtStartPos

Stop the rotator from rotating when it gets around to the start position again (on its rotation axis).

• StartForward

• StartBackward

Start the rotator rotating backward.

• Toggle

Toggle the rotator between rotating and not rotating.
