{{entity|prop_dynamic|type=e0}} It is used to add a [[model]] to the world that can [[Skeletal animation|animate]] itself.

{{tip|If your model is never going to move and/or requires more detailed lighting, consider using {{ent|prop_static}} (which is [[cheap]]er).}}

{{note|To enforce consistency, models with [[prop_data|embedded physics data]] cannot by default be used by <code>prop_dynamic</code>. Use the Hammer model browser's [[:Image:Model_info.gif|Info tab]] to check for support. If you intend to use a physics model in non-physics role, use {{ent|prop_dynamic_override}}.}}

{{altnames|name1=dynamic_prop|misc=The classname is always changed to <code>prop_dynamic</code> on spawn.}}

==Uses==
*'''Buttons''' can be created by parenting a <code>prop_dynamic</code> to a {{ent|func_button}} brush. This will cause <code>+use</code> inputs on the prop to be forwarded to the {{ent|func_button}}, which can be placed anywhere in the map (or even outside the map, [[Leak|as long as the origin is inside]]). The <code>SetAnimation</code> input can then be used to make the prop animate when interacted with.
*Similarly, '''levers''' can be created by parenting a <code>prop_dynamic</code> to a {{ent|func_rot_button}} (or {{ent|momentary_rot_button}}) brush. No animation is needed for this - the brush will rotate the prop by itself. As before, the entity can be placed anywhere, as long as the origin is positioned at the point you want it to rotate around.
*A <code>prop_dynamic</code> can be configured to '''break apart''' after receiving damage or on cue by using the <code>Break</code> input. {{bug|Health set [[prop_data|inside the model]] will override health set in Hammer!}}
