Func platrot

Entity description

It moves vertically, and can rotate while doing so. In code it is represented by class CFuncPlatRot, defined in trains.cpp.

Keyvalues

Movement Sound (noise1) <sound>

The sound to play when the brush moves.

Stop Sound (noise2) <sound>

The sound to play when the brush stops moving.

Speed of Rotation (speed) <integer>

Speed at which the brush rotates, in degrees per second.

Travel Altitude (height) <integer>

The vertical distance from the starting position that this platform moves. If negative, the platform will lower.

Spin amount (rotation) <integer>

The amount this platform should rotate as it moves, in degrees.

Minimum Light Level (_minlight) <string>

The minimum level of ambient light that hits this brush.

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.

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.

Render Modes

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.

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 )

Used to disable rendering into shadow depth (for projected textures) for this entity.

Disable flashlight (disableflashlight) <boolean> (in all games since )

Used to disable projected texture lighting and shadows on this entity.

Projected Texture Cache (shadowdepthnocache) <integer choices> (in all games since )

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

Flags

• 1 : Toggle
• 64 : X Axis
• 128 : Y Axis

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.

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.

BasePlat:

Toggle

Toggles the platform's state.

GoUp

Tells the platform to go up.

GoDown

Tells the platform to go down.

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 )

This object will not receive light or shadows from projected textures.

EnableReceivingFlashlight  (in all games since )

This object may receive light or shadows from projected textures.
