Keyvalues

CDynamicProp:

Default Animation (DefaultAnim) <string>

The animation this prop will play when not doing a random or forced animation.

Randomly Animate (RandomAnimation) <boolean>

Makes the prop randomly select and play animations at intervals defined by the Min/Max Random Anim Time KVs. In between the random animations, it will revert to playing Default Animation.

Note:Will only select from animation $sequences linked with ACT_IDLE if they exist.

Ignore NPC Collisions (IgnoreNPCCollisions) <choices> (only in )

Disable collisions for NPCs if yes.

• 0: No
• 1: Yes

Min Random Anim Time (MinAnimTime) <float>

Minimum time between random animations.

Max Random Anim Time (MaxAnimTime) <float>

Maximum time between random animations.

Update children (updatechildren) <boolean> (in all games since )

Update touches for any children that are attached to attachment points as this prop animates. This allows SetParentAttached triggers or func_brushes to touch properly.

Disable Bone Followers (DisableBoneFollowers) <boolean> (in all games since )

Disables generation of phys_bone_followers for each convex piece the model has in its collision model. phys_bone_followers can quickly eat up the edict count, so this keyvalue can be very helpful in freeing resources. This will however make the collision model no longer function (^[confirm] As in become non-solid?), and the model will not be able to ragdoll anymore.

Hold Animation (HoldAnimation) <boolean> (in all games since )

If set, the prop will not loop its animation, but hold the last frame.

Animate Every Frame (AnimateEveryFrame) <boolean> (in all games since )

Force this prop to animate every frame. Usually this doesn't need to be touched.

GMODSandbox:

Allow Physics Gun (gmod_allowphysgun) <boolean> (only in )

If set, players cannot use Physics Gun on this entity.

Sandbox Tool Whitelist (gmod_allowtools) <string> (only in )

If set, only given tools can be used on this entity. You need to supply the tool class names, the names of the .lua files of those tools. This also includes the context menu properties!

Inputs

CDynamicProp:

SetAnimation <string>

Forces the prop to play the named animation.

SetDefaultAnimation <string>

Changes the animation played when not in a random/forced sequence.

SetPlaybackRate <float>

Sets the framerate at which animations are played.

TurnOff

Hides the prop through EF_NODRAW. The Disable input does the exact same thing.

TurnOn

Shows the prop (by removing EF_NODRAW). The Enable input does the exact same thing.

DisableCollision

Tells the prop to no longer be solid.

EnableCollision

Tells the prop to become solid again.

SetAnimationNoReset <string> (in all games since )

Force the prop to play an animation unless the prop is already playing the animation. The parameter should be the name of the animation.

FadeAndKill  (in all games since )

Fade out then remove this prop.

Disable

Disable this entity for performing its task, make it invisible.

OnAnimationBegun

Fired when an animation begins.
