env_model

This article or section is a stub. You can help by expanding it.

env_model is a point entity available in Day of Defeat, originally found in Spirit of Half-Life. It is used to place a model (usually an MDL) on a map, with optional animation and no collision.

Warning:Env_models do not have any collision, and will not cast shadows with normal compilers.

Workaround:Create a brush-based collision mesh and tie it to afunc_wall with renderamt set to 0. Set the texture scale to 4.0 or higher to avoid wasting allocblock on invisible faces. This will also cast lightmap shadows, unless alphatest ({) textures are used.
