MoveType defines the way entity behaves and moves. For example movetype 0 will freeze the entity and nothing can affect it until its MoveType is changed.

Warning:Most of these MoveTypes are called by the engine, safe ones to use are: 0, 2, 4, 5, 8.

Tip:In or later, you can test these out in game with console command ent_fire player AddOutput "MoveType #" where # is a number from table below.
