Name (targetname) <string>[ Edit ]: 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. See also: Generic Keyvalues, Inputs and Outputs available to all entities

Damage type (damagetype) <choices>: The damage type to filter by. The page linked to above has a more complete list. Similar to spawnflags, these types can be combined by adding their numbers together, but damage events must match the types perfectly.

Damage types

See TakeDamageCustom function or the trigger example.

Bug:At least in

and

, DMG_DROWN and DMG_DROWNRECOVER from the water can't be filtered correctly by this entity. [todo tested in ?]

BaseFilter:

Filter mode (Negated) <boolean>: Inverts the filter, making the specified criteria fail and all others pass.

BaseFilter:

TestActivator <variantRedirectInput/variant>: Tests the entity that called the input (the !activator) against the filter, and fires either the OnPass or OnFail output. (the parameter it takes is unused)
Note:This filter doesn't cause the server to crash as most other filters do if activator entity no longer exists.; Note:If Negated is set to 0 this will always cause OnPass output to fire otherwise always OnFail

BaseFilter:

OnFail: !activator = activator of TestActivator input
!caller = this entity
One of these will fire when TestActivator input is sent, depending on if the activator is allowed by the filter or not.
