Keyvalues
Base:
- 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:Entities transition to the next map with their parentsTip:phys_constraintcan 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: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: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: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
) (also in 
) - 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) (also in ) - 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) !FGD - Set to Yes to lag compensate this entity. Should be used very sparingly!
- Is Automatic-Aim Target
(is_autoaim_target)<boolean> (in all games since
) !FGD - If set to 1, this entity will slow down aiming movement for consoles and joystick controllers when the entity is under the crosshairs.
BaseFadeProp:
- Start Fade Dist
(fademindist)<float> - Distance at which the prop starts to fade.
- End Fade Dist
(fademaxdist)<float> - Max fade distance at which the prop is visible.
- If start fade is <0, the prop will disappear instantly when end fade is hit.
- If end fade is <0, the prop won't disappear at all. (This is the default behavior.)
- The values will scale appropriately if the prop is in a 3D Skybox.
- Fade Scale
(fadescale)<float> - If you specify so in
worldspawn, or if the engine is running below DirectX 8 (DX7 in
), props will fade out even if the fade distances above aren't specified. This value gives you some control over when this happens: numbers smaller than 1 cause the prop to fade out at further distances, while those greater than 1 cause it to fade out at closer distances. Using 0 turns off the forced fade altogether. See also the QC command $noforcedfade.
Shadow:
- Disable Shadows
(disableshadows)<boolean> - Prevents the entity from creating cheap render-to-texture shadows, or lightmap shadows if the entity is a
prop_static. Does not affect shadow mapping.
- Disable Receiving Shadows
(disablereceiveshadows)<boolean> - Prevent the entity from receiving dynamic shadows on itself.
- Shadow Cast Distance
(shadowcastdist)<integer> !FGD - Sets how far the entity casts dynamic shadows. 0 means default distance from the
shadow_controlentity.
Flags
- [
1] : Start Constrained
Todo: Find out how this constrains the entity.
- [
2] : Deny player pickup (reserve for NPC)
If set, denies use except by NPCs.
- [
4] : Not puntable by gravity gun.
If set, gravity gun can not punt this entity.
Inputs
Base:
AddContext<string>- Adds to the entity's list of response contexts. See Context.
AddOutput<string>- Assigns a new keyvalue/output on this entity. For keyvalues, some rely on extra necessary code to be ran and won't work if its simply just changed through this input. There is a strict format that must be followed:
// Format of changing KeyValues: "AddOutput [key] [value]"
//// Raw text:
"OnUser1" "!self,AddOutput,targetname new_name"
// Format of adding an Output: "AddOutput {targetname}:{inputname}:{parameter}:{delay}:{max times to fire, -1 means infinite}"
//// Raw text:
"OnUser1" "!self,AddOutput,OnUser1:SetParent:!activator:0.0:-1"
// Arguments can be left blank, but the empty blank should still be contained.
//// Raw text:
"OnUser1" "!self,AddOutput,OnUser1:ClearParent::0.0:-1"
|
ClearContext- Removes all contexts from this entity's list.
ClearParent- Removes this entity from the the movement hierarchy, leaving it free to move independently.
FireUser1toFireUser4- Fires the respective
OnUseroutputs; see User Inputs and Outputs.
Kill- Removes this entity and any entities parented to it from the world.
KillHierarchy- Functions the same as
Kill, although this entity and any entities parented to it are killed on the same frame, being marginally faster thanKillinput.
RemoveContext<string>- Remove a context from this entity's list. The name should match the key of an existing context.
SetParent<string>- Move with this entity. See Entity Hierarchy (parenting).
SetParentAttachment<string>- Change this entity to attach to a specific attachment point on its parent. The entity will teleport so that the position of its root bone matches that of the attachment. Entities must be parented before being sent this input.
SetParentAttachmentMaintainOffset<string>- As above, but without teleporting. The entity retains its position relative to the attachment at the time of the input being received.
DispatchResponse<string> !FGD- Dispatches a response to the entity. See Response and Concept.
DispatchEffect<string> (removed since
) !FGD- Dispatches a special effect from the entity's origin; See also List of Client Effects. Replaced by the particle system since .
RunScriptFile<script> (in all games since) (also in )- Execute a VScript file from disk, without file extension. The script contents are merged with the script scope of the receiving entity.
RunScriptCode<string> (in all games since) (also in )- Execute a string of VScript source code in the scope of the entity receiving the input. String quotation may be needed when fired via console.
Bug:In Hammer, using string arguments will corrupt the VMF file's structure, making the file unviewable for the next Hammer session.Fix:Remove the string argument manually with a text editor.Note: Backtick characters ` are replaced with quotation marks at runtime, allowing quotation marks to be used when normally not possible.
CallScriptFunction<string> (in all games since) (also in ) !FGD- Calls a VScript function defined in the scope of the receiving entity.
TerminateScriptScope(only in) !FGD- Destroys the script scope of the receving entity.
SetLocalOrigin<coordinates> (in all games since) !FGD- Send this entity to a spot in the map. If the entity is parented to something, it will be offset from the parent by this amount.
Shadow:
DisableShadow- Turn dynamic shadows off for this entity. Identical to applying
EF_NOSHADOW.
EnableShadow- Turn dynamic shadows on for this entity.
Outputs
OnCacheInteraction- Fires when the player "proves" they've found this weapon. Fires on Player touch,
+use, Physcannon pickup, or Physcannon punt.
OnPlayerPickup- Fired when the player picks up this entity.
OnNpcPickup- Fired when an NPC picks up this entity.
OnPlayerUse- Fired when the player uses this entity.
Base:
OnUser1toOnUser4- These outputs each fire in response to the firing of the like-numbered
FireUser1toFireUser4Input; see User Inputs and Outputs.
