env_entity_dissolver is a point entity available in all Source Source games. It can remove a point entity (typically a prop) from the map after a few built-in effects (this entity will not work on brush entities). If the target is an NPC, it will be killed. Then the target entity's mass is set to zero, turns black and then (depending on what the Dissolve Type is set to) emits random light particles with a few tesla (lightning) effects.

Note.pngNote:The dissolve will not work on a player. The player entity and any ragdoll left behind when the player is killed are two distinct entities. Using this entity on a live player will kill the player, however.
Note.pngNote:When dissolving a entity, 10000 damage will be applied to it simultaneously. The damage will be credited (as attacker and inflictor) to the player with the lowest player index.

Portal 2 In Portal 2, the Fizzler effect will be used, regardless of the Dissolve Type option.

Note.pngNote:In Portal 2, entities dissolved using this entity will not fire their OnFizzled outputs. For cubes, use the Dissolve input on the cube instead.
