Phys convert

Template:Base point It turns an arbitrary entity into a physically simulated entity. i.e. brush entities will behave like simple_physics_brush, model entities behave like simple_physics_prop.

Note:simple_physics_brush and simple_physics_prop are very limited physics entities separate from func_physbox and prop_physics. See their respective pages for details.

Keyvalues

Entity to convert ([todo internal name (i)]) <targetname>

Name of the entity that will be converted to a physics object when the ConvertTarget input is fired.

Model Swap Entity ([todo internal name (i)]) <string>

If specified, this entity's model will replace the model of the target object during conversion.

Tip:Use this when the converted object has a separate model used for physics props.

Mass Override ([todo internal name (i)]) <float>

Sets the mass when the object(s) are converted (0 means auto-calculate)

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.

Flags

• 1 : Convert Asleep
• 2 : Convert As Debris

Inputs

ConvertTarget

Converts this entity's target to a physically simulated object.

Note:The converted object will have its velocity transferred.

Bug:All keyvalues other than the name and model are not converted, such as skin or color. AddOutput can be used to solve this by firing it immediately after converting.  [todo tested in ?]

Outputs

OnConvert

Fires after the conversion has taken place.
