Func pendulum (GoldSrc)

func_pendulum is a brush entity available in Half-Life.

Note:This entity exists in Source for legacy purposes, but is not in the FGD.

Entity description

The func_pendulum entity allows you to create an object that moves in the manner of a pendulum (think of a grandfather clock). Note that, as this is a rotating entity, an origin brush must be a part of it.

Keyvalues

Name - If a name is given to this entity, it can be activated and deactivated by another trigger. If you deactivate the func_pendulum, it will.

Global Entity Name ([todo internal name (i)])

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.

Render Mode ([todo internal name (i)]) <choices>

• 0 : Normal

FX Amount (0 - 255) ([todo internal name (i)]) <integer>

The FX color is used by the selected Render Mode.

Texture Light Style ([todo internal name (i)]) <choices>

Speed ([todo internal name (i)])

Distance (deg) ([todo internal name (i)]) <integer>

(default: 90) - This is the distance, in degrees, the pendulum will swing. Use a negative value to reverse the direction of movement.

Damping (0-1000) ([todo internal name (i)]) <integer>

If you specify a value here, the pendulum will slowly narrow its movement so that it eventually stops moving. It will end in the middle of its swing (so, if you specify a distance of 90 degrees, it will eventually become motionless at its 45 degree position).

Damage inflicted when blocked ([todo internal name (i)]) <integer>

If the player impedes the movement of the rotating brush, he will be damaged according to the value you set here.
