func_door is a brush entity available in all GoldSrc games. It creates a simple sliding door.

See func_door_rotating for its rotating counterpart.

Key Values

Contents (skin) <choices>

What brush contents to use for this entity.

For entities with no clipnodes (such as using zhlt_noclip), this is purely cosmetic. For other entities, this requires the entity collision to be set to SOLID_NOT for non-cosmetic effect (applied automatically on doors and func_illusionary).

Contents types

-1: Empty -2: Solid -3: Water (also disables backface culling) -4: Slime (like water, but inflicts damage) -5: Lava (like slime, but inflicts double damage) -6: Sky -7: Volumetric Light (same as water) -8: ??? Confirm:This is CONTENTS_CLIP, but BSP compilers change it to solid, so it probably has no effect at runtime. -9: Water with 0° current -10: Water with 90° current -11: Water with 180° current -12: Water with 270° current -13: Water with upward current -14: Water with downward current -15: Translucent (like water, but never solid) -16: Ladder -17: Zero Gravity -18: Hover Field -19: Fog

Note:If present and set to any value other than zero, the door will be silent.

Name (targetname) <string>

The targetname that other entities refer to this entity by.

A named door will be locked, and can only opened by being targeted.

Global Entity Name (globalname) <string>

Name to identify entity accross level transitions. Entities with the same global name will have the same status accross maps.

Pitch Yaw Roll (Y Z X) (angles) <QAngle>

This entity's orientation in the world. Pitch is rotation around the Y axis, yaw is the rotation around the Z axis, roll is the rotation around the X axis.

For sliding doors, this is the direction the door will move when opened.

For rotating doors, this is the default rotation.

Angular Velocity (avelocity) <vector3> !FGD

Only affects sliding doors. See Entity Attribute: Angular Velocity.

Target (target) <targetname>

The targetname of an entity this entity will trigger when activated.

Delay before trigger (delay) <integer>

Delay in seconds before firing the targeted entity.

Killtarget (killtarget) <targetname>

Entity to remove when activated.

Speed (speed) <float>

Speed that the door moves, in units (sliding door) or degrees (rotating door) per second.

Master (master) <targetname>

Name of a master entity. If the master hasn't been activated, this entity will not activate.

A door with a master will be locked until the master condition is fulfilled.

Move Sound (movesnd) <byte choices>

8	Snappy Metal Stop

Note:movesnd and stopsnd are effectively booleans in Day of Defeat, with only one option, and stopsnd's default sound being silent.

delay before close, -1 stay open (wait) <integer>

Time until the door returns to the closed position. A value of -1 means the door never auto-closes.

Lip (lip) <integer>

When the door opens, it will move its full length minus this many units. Negative values will make the door move that many more than its length.

Damage inflicted when blocked (dmg) <integer>

How much damage the player receives if he gets stuck between the door and something solid.

Message If Triggered (message) <string>

Message appears when the entity has been triggered.

Target (target) <targetname>

When the door is opened, it triggers the entity with the name specified by Target

Delay before fire (delay) <integer>

Delays the door from opening and/or closing (in seconds).

Fire on Close (netname) <string>

Health (shoot open) (health) <integer> 

Deprecated.
Leftover from Quake, where the door would have to be damaged to this extent to open. A shoot-to-open door can be created using func_button or func_rot_button instead.

Give health (healthvalue) <byte> !FGD

Health to heal player who opens the door (activator) when door is opened.
Leftover from the Half-Life Alpha, where health cabinets using func_door_rotating were used instead of func_healthcharger.

Important:This is infinite, unlike func_healthcharger; it will heal every time the door opens!

Render Amount (0-255) (renderamt) <integer>

Controls transparency when using another render mode then normal. 0 is completely invisible, and 255 is opaque. If render mode is solid, then all values except 0 are opaque.

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

Color to use by the specified render mode.
Also used on brush entities to control the speed of scrolling textures; see func_conveyor for more information.

Wave Height (WaveHeight) <float> !FGD

Height of waves on any !-prefixed textures on this entity. Default value is 3.2.

Minimum light level (_minlight) <normal>

ZHLT family

ZHLT Light Flags (ZHLT 2.2+) (zhlt_lightflags) <flags> Special lighting behavior. Only available if using Zoner's Half-Life Compile Tools or a fork thereof. Embedded Fix : [1] Opaque (blocks light) : [2] Concave fix : [4] Note:Most FGDs will have this as "choices" with options for values of 0/1/2/3/6, because Hammer and Jack do not support the "flags" KV type outside of Spawnflags. Light Origin Target (ZHLT 2.2+) (light_origin) <targetname> During lighting compilation, this entity will be treated as if its origin were at the target entity's origin. Requires an origin brush. Entity to Use Model From (ZHLT) (zhlt_usemodel) <targetname> Used to set the model to a different entity's model (bmodel, BSP, MDL, or SPR). The targeted entity will be moved before this entity to ensure proper loading. Requires an origin brush on this entity, as well as on the target entity if target entity is a brush entity. Nonsolid (ZHLT) (zhlt_noclip) <boolean> Disables generation of clipnodes for all brushes on this entity, except for clip brushes. The entity may still be solid to point traces (hitscans, grenades, etc) if the brush contents are set to solid. Tip:Always enable this for cosmetic func_illusionary, (not if, for example, skin is set to -16 to make it a ladder); VHLT does not strip clipnodes for this entity. Don't Render (ZHLT 3+) (zhlt_invisible) <boolean> Treat all faces as if they were textured with NULL. Tip:Use this on triggers which use custom textures instead of AAATRIGGER or NULL, such as ladders. Custom Hull 1 (VHLT+) (zhlt_hull1) <targetname> Custom Hull 2 (VHLT+) (zhlt_hull2) <targetname> Custom Hull 3 (VHLT+) (zhlt_hull3) <targetname> Which named info_hullshape entity to use for the specified clipping hull. Mins/Maxs (VHLT+) (zhlt_minsmaxs) <mins vector + maxs vector> Override this entity's bounding box. zhlt_transform (zhlt_transform) <???> Never visible (VHLT+) (zhlt_hidden) <boolean> Don't create marksurfaces for this entity, resulting in it being treated by VIS as never visible. Tip:The _HIDDEN texture suffix does the same thing, but also works on world brushes, which are used for model lighting. Strip lightmaps after compiling (VHLT+) (zhlt_striprad) <boolean> Undefines the lightmaps for brushes on this entity after compiling, resulting in the faces being fullbright and not using up allocblock. Unlike TEX_SPECIAL, faces with zhlt_striprad will still affect bounced lighting. Custom Shadow Color (VHLT+) (zhlt_customshadow) <color1> If this entity casts shadows, the shadows will be this color instead of black. Can also be a single value, for monochrome. Fake Lightmap (VHLT v33+) (zhlt_embedlightmap) <boolean> Generates unique diffuse textures for all textured faces, then bakes lighting information directly into the generated textures. Primarily used to prevent translucent surfaces from "glowing", as rendermodes which support translucency don't render lightmaps on the vanilla renderer. Implies zhlt_striprad. Important:The resulting textures will be renamed to have the prefix __rad; as such, any unique attributes will be lost. Downscale Fake Lightmap (VHLT v34+) (zhlt_embedlightmapresolution) <integer> Downscale texture created by zhlt_embedlightmap this many times.

ericw-tools

Note:If any of the booleans are set in worldspawn, they can be disabled per entity by being set to -1. Cast shadows (_shadow) <boolean> Cast shadows from this entity. Implies _shadowself. Self-shadowed (_shadowself) <boolean> Cast shadows from this entity onto itself. Shadow world only (_shadowworldonly) <boolean> Only cast shadows on world, not models. Smooth shading (_phong) <boolean> Enable smooth shading between faces which are less than _phong_angle. Autosmoothing angle (_phong_angle) <integer> Angle to smooth; default 89. Set to 44 to match QRAD/HLRAD defaults. Maximum light level (_maxlight) <normal> Minlight color (_mincolor, _minlight_color) <color1> Color of _minlight. Also accepts color255, provided at least one value is greater than 1. Minlight only (_lightignore) <boolean> Only receive lighting from _minlight Disable backface culling (_mirrorinside) <boolean>
