Item:


BaseAnimating:
World Model (model) <string>
The model this entity should appear as. 128-character limit.
Skin (skin or ModelSkin Alien Swarm) <integer>
Some models have multiple skins. This value selects from the index, starting with 0.
Collisions (solid) <choices>
Method of collision for this entity.
Choices
  • 0: None
  • 1: BSP (QPhysics) !FGD
  • 2: Bounding Box
  • 3: Oriented Bounding Box (Use for runtime spawned rotated brush entities) !FGD
  • 4: Oriented Bounding Box, constrained to Yaw only !FGD
  • 5: Custom/Test (Usually no collision with anything) !FGD
  • 6: VPhysics
Hitbox Set (hitboxset) <string> !FGD
Sets the $hboxset to use.
Body Group (body or SetBodyGroup) <integer> !FGD
Sets the the active $bodygroup.
Model Index (modelindex) <short> !FGD
Given the number index from dumping the cl_precacheinfo modelprecache table, sets entity model to the index.
Warning.pngWarning:If an entity has animations that will be played, then the set model also must have its own sequences, else the game crashes.
Model Scale (modelscale) <float> (in all games since Half-Life 2: Episode Two)
A multiplier for the size of the model. Negative values are accepted. Does not alter the physics collisions in most cases, however.
Warning.pngWarning:Negative or extremely high values can cause crashes!
Note.pngNote:Scale may not appear in Hammer Hammer 4.x, but will appear in-game (tested in Day of Defeat: Source). This is fixed in Hammer++ Hammer++.

Animating

Sequence (sequence) <integer> !FGD
Default animation sequence for the model to be playing after spawning.
Playback Rate (playbackrate) <float> !FGD
A multiplier of the framerate at which animations are played, negative values are accepted. Default is 1.0.
Cycle (cycle) <float> !FGD
The current frame of the current animation, on a range from 0-1.
Texture Frame (texframeindex) <integer> !FGD
The initial frame number for all animated textures on this entity.

Effects - Render


Start Fade Distance (fademindist) <float>
Distance at which the entity starts fading. If 0 or less, the entity will disappear instantly when end fade is hit. The value will scale appropriately if the entity is in a 3D Skybox.
End Fade Distance (fademaxdist) <float>
Distance at which the entity ends fading. If 0 or less, the entity won't disappear at all. The value will scale appropriately if the entity is in a 3D Skybox.
Fade Scale (fadescale) <float>
If specified in the worldspawn, or if the engine is running below DirectX 8, entities will fade out even if the fade distances above aren't specified. This value gives more control over when this happens: numbers smaller than 1 cause the entity to fade out at further distances, and greater than 1 cause it to fade out at closer distances. Using 0 turns off the forced fade altogether. See also $noforcedfade.
FX Amount/Transparency (0–255) (renderamt) <integer>
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.
Render FX (renderfx) <choices>
Various somewhat legacy alpha effects.

SystemLevelChoice:
Minimum / Maximum Effect Details Level (mincpulevel / maxcpulevel) <choices> (in all games since Left 4 Dead)
Don't render for players with Effect Details levels that exceed the minimum or maximum.[Note.pngKey names are related to cpu_level cvar used by Effect Details.]
Choices
  • 0: Default ("Low" formincpulevel, "High" formaxcpulevel)
  • 1: Low
  • 2: Medium
  • 3: High
Minimum / Maximum Shader Details Level (mingpulevel / maxgpulevel) <choices> (in all games since Left 4 Dead)

Choices
  • 0: Default ("Low" formingpulevel, "Very High" formaxgpulevel)
  • 1: Low

Base:
Name (targetname) <string>
The name that other entities use to refer to this entity.
Parent (parentname) <targetname>
Maintain the same initial offset to this entity. An attachment point can also be used if separated by a comma at the end. (parentname [targetname],[attachment])
Tip.pngTip:Entities transition to the next map with their parents
Tip.pngTip:phys_constraint can be used as a workaround if parenting fails.
Origin (X Y Z) (origin) <coordinates>
The position of this entity's center in the world. Rotating entities typically rotate around their origin.
Note.pngNote:Hammer does not move the entities accordingly only in the editor.
Pitch Yaw Roll (X Y Z) (angles) <angle>
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.
Note.pngNote:This works on brush entities, although Hammer doesn't show the new angles.
Classname (classname) <string> !FGD
Determines the characteristics of the entity before it spawns.
Tip.pngTip:Changing this on runtime still has use, like making matching an entry in S_PreserveEnts will persist the entity on new rounds!
Flags (spawnflags) <flags> !FGD
Toggles exclusive features of an entity, its specific number is determined by the combination of flags added.
Effects (effects) <flags> !FGD
Combination of effect flags to use.
Entity Scripts (vscripts) <scriptlist> (in all games since Left 4 Dead 2) (also in Team Fortress 2)
Space delimited list of VScript files (without file extension) that are executed after all entities have spawned. The scripts are all executed in the same script scope, later ones overwriting any identical variables and functions. Scripts executed on the worldspawn entity will be placed in root scope.
Think function (thinkfunction) <string> (in all games since Left 4 Dead 2) (also in Team Fortress 2)
Name of the function within this entity's script that'll be called automatically every 100 milliseconds, or a user-defined interval if the function returns a number. Avoid expensive operations in this function, as it may cause performance problems.
Lag Compensation (LagCompensate) <boolean> (in all games since Left 4 Dead 2) !FGD
Set to Yes to lag compensate this entity. Should be used very sparingly!
