Keyvalues
- Name (targetname) <string>[ Edit ]
- The name that other entities refer to this entity by, via Inputs/Outputs or other keyvalues (e.g.
parentname
ortarget
).
Also displayed in Hammer's 2D views and Entity Report.See also: Generic Keyvalues, Inputs and Outputs available to all entities
Master (Obsolete) (master) <string>- Deprecated.
Legacy support: The name of a master entity. If the master hasn't been activated, this entity will not activate.
- Damage (damage) <integer>
- The amount of damage done to entities that touch this trigger. The damage is done every half-second. See also Damage Model for extra details on how damage can be dealt. Use negative value to heal.
Warning:Do not use excessively large values like 99999999999999999. This can cause entities that inherit velocity on death (like ragdolls) to gain such high velocity that it causes VPhysics to explode.
Confirm:How high is "too high"?
Note:Since it deals damage every half-second, a value of 1 will deal no damage (if no doubling).
- Damage Cap (damagecap) <integer>
- Maximum damage dealt per second. This field is only used if you select the Doubling w/Forgiveness damage model, via the spawnflag.

- Damage Model (damagemodel) <choices>
- How damage is dealt. Normal always does the specified amount of damage each half second. Doubling starts with the specified amount and doubles it each time it hurts the toucher. Forgiveness means that if the toucher gets out of the trigger the damage will reset to the specified value. Good for making triggers that are deadly over time without having to cause massive damage on each touch.
