env_physexplosion is a point entity available in all Source games.

It applies a physical force to physics objects within its radius, anything from a gentle nudge to a big explosion, depending on its magnitude. The explosion itself is not visible; for visible explosions, use env_explosion.

Tip:Use this at a low force on hanging objects like lights or bodies to make them sway.

Flags

No Damage : [1]

Only Force (Players are not ever damaged by the explosion (regardless of this flag), only objects.)

Push players : [2]
Push radially : [4]

not as a sphere (Radially meaning as a circle/cylinder. No upward or downward force will be generated.)

Test LOS before pushing : [8]
Disorient player if pushed : [16]

Keyvalues

Name (targetname) <string>

The name that other entities refer to this entity by, via Inputs/Outputs or other keyvalues (e.g. parentname or target).
Also displayed in Hammer's 2D views and Entity Report.

Magnitude (magnitude) <string>

Amount of physics force applied by the explosion.

Note:The magnitude value is clamped between 1 and 100. If you require a bigger explosion than this, create multiple instances of the entity.

Clamp Radius (0 = auto) (radius) <string>

If specified, the radius in which the explosion damages entities. If unspecified, the radius will be based on the magnitude.

Limit to Entity (targetentityname) <targetname>

If specified, the explosion will only affect the matching entity.

Inner radius (inner_radius) <float>

If not zero, the LOS is calculated from a point intersecting this sphere.

Inputs

Explode

Trigger the explosion.

ExplodeAndRemove  (in all games since )

Trigger the explosion, then remove the entity.

Outputs

OnPushedPlayer

Fires when the player is pushed by the explosion.
