env_shooter is a point entity available in all  Source games. It shoots giblets out of its origin. These gibs can be either models or sprites.

Flags

Repeatable : [1]

On fire : [2]

Creates entityflame which is parented to gib. Lifetime as long as gib's.

Bug:Doesn't work with raggib.  (tested in: )

Fade out even when in player's view : [4]

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.

Model (shootmodel) <model path>

Thing to shoot out. Can be an MDL or a VMT.

Material Sound (shootsounds) <choices>

What sounds play when the gibs are interacted with (shooting, walking on, etc). See $surfaceprop.

• -1: None
• 0: Glass
• 1: Wood
• 2: Metal
• 3: Flesh
• 4: Concrete

Skin (skin) <integer>

Some models have multiple skins. This value selects from the index, starting with 0.

Model Scale (scale) <float>

Multiplies the size of the gib models. Physics will not be scaled up.

Gib Gravity Scale (gibgravityscale) <float>

Scale gravity so that gibs fall faster, slower, or not at all. Only for point gibs.

Mass (massoverride) <float> (in all games since )

Force gibs to be a certain mass. Default mass is 200.^[confirm]

 Black Mesa only keyvalues

Blood Color (bloodcolor) <choices> Blood color for gibs. Appears when a gib touches world geometry. Only for point gibs. -1: None 0: Red (Human) 1: Yellow (Alien) 2: Green (Alien) 3: Grey (Mech) Note: No difference between last three. Confirm:Can this be fixed ? Note: This feature doesn't work with all models. Explode on Impact (touchkill) <choices> If set to Yes - gib will explode when it touches world geometry. Only for point gibs. 0: No 1: Yes Explode Damage (gibdamage) <float> The amount of damage the gib will do when exploding. Explode Sound (gibsound) <sound> Sound to play when gib exploding.

GibShooter:

Number of Gibs (m_iGibs) <integer>

Total number of gibs to shoot each time the entity should shoot.

Delay between shots (delay) <float>

Delay (in seconds) between shooting each gib. If 0 or lower, all gibs shoot at once.

Gib Angles (Pitch Yaw Roll) (gibangles) <vector3>

The orientation of the spawned gibs.

Max angular velocity (gibanglevelocity) <float>

How fast (degrees/sec) the gibs should spin. They will spin on the x and y axes between 10% and 100% of this speed.

Gib Velocity (m_flVelocity) <float>

Speed of the fired gibs.

Course Variance (m_flVariance) <float>

How much variance in the direction gibs are fired.

Gib Life (m_flGibLife) <float>

Default Value: 25
Time in seconds for gibs to live +/- 5%.

Lighting Origin (lightingorigin) <targetname>

Select an entity (not info_lighting!) to specify a location to sample lighting from for all gibs spawned by this shooter, instead of their own origins.

Physics (simulation) <choices>

How the gibs will be physically simulated.

• 0: Point (very cheap) (gib)
• 1: Physics (gib)
• 2: Ragdoll (raggib)

Disable Shadows (nogibshadows) <boolean>

Set to 1 to disable render target shadows on gibs.

RenderFields:

Render Mode (rendermode) <byte choices>

Set a non-standard rendering mode on this entity.

Render Modes

0: Normal 1: Color 2: Texture 3: Glow 4: Solid/Alphatest 5: Additive 6: Removed, does nothing 7: Additive Fractional Frame 8: Alpha Add 9: World Space Glow 10: Don't Render

Render FX (renderfx) <byte choices>

Various somewhat legacy alpha effects. See render effects.

Render Amount / Transparency (renderamt) <byte>

Default Value: 255
Translucency amount, requires a Render Mode other than Normal or Solid. 0 is invisible, 255 is fully visible.

Render Color (R G B) (rendercolor) <color255>

Default Value: 255 255 255
Color tint.

Minimum / Maximum Effect Details Level (mincpulevel / maxcpulevel) <integer choices> (in all games since )

Don't render for players with Effect Details levels that exceed the minimum or maximum.

Choices

0: Default ("Low" for mincpulevel, "High" for maxcpulevel) 1: Low 2: Medium 3: High

Minimum / Maximum Shader Details Level (mingpulevel / maxgpulevel) <integer choices> (in all games since )

Don't render for players with Shader Details levels that exceed the minimum or maximum.

Choices

0: Default ("Low" for mingpulevel, "Very High" for maxgpulevel) 1: Low 2: Medium 3: High 4: Very High

Inputs

GibShooter:

Shoot

Force the gibshooter to create and shoot a gib.

RenderFields:

Alpha <integer 0–255>

Sets the entity's transparency to a number from 0 (invisible) to 255 (fully visible). Requires the entity to have its rendermode set to a number other than 0.

Color <color255RedirectInput/color32>

Sets an RGB color for the entity.
