func_guntarget is a brush entity available in all Source Source games.

In code, it is represented by theCGunTargetclass, defined in theguntarget.cppfile.

Entity Description

It is a moving target that moves along a path of path_tracks. It can be shot and killed.

Keyvalues

Speed (units per second) (speed) <integer>
The speed at which the target moves along its path.
First stop target (target) <targetname>
The name of the first path_track entity in the path that this target should follow.
Damage to Take (health) <integer>
The amount of damage taken before this target is killed.

Base:
Collisions (solid) <choices>
Method of collision for this entity.

Values:

  • 0: None
  • 1: BSP (QPhysics) !FGD
    Icon-Bug.pngBug:In Portal 2, if an entity using QPhysics collisions is hit by Gel, the game will crash!
  • 2: Bounding Box
  • 3: Oriented Bounding Box (Use for runtime spawned brush entities meant to be rotated) !FGD
  • 4: Oriented Bounding Box but constrained to Yaw only !FGD
  • 5: Custom/Test (Usually no collision with anything) !FGD
  • 6: VPhysics


Name (targetname) <string>
The name that other entities use to refer to this entity.
Parent (parentname) <targetname>
Maintain the same initial offset to this entity. An attachment point can also be used if separated by a comma at the end. (parentname [targetname],[attachment])
Tip.pngTip:Entities transition to the next map with their parents
Tip.pngTip:phys_constraint can be used as a workaround if parenting fails.
Origin (X Y Z) (origin) <coordinates>
The position of this entity's center in the world. Rotating entities typically rotate around their origin.
Note.pngNote:Hammer does not move the entities accordingly only in the editor.
Pitch Yaw Roll (X Y Z) (angles) <angle>
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.
Note.pngNote:This works on brush entities, although Hammer doesn't show the new angles.
Classname (classname) <string> !FGD
Determines the characteristics of the entity before it spawns.
Tip.pngTip:Changing this on runtime still has use, like making matching an entry in S_PreserveEnts will persist the entity on new rounds!
Flags (spawnflags) <integer> !FGD
Toggles exclusive features of an entity, its specific number is determined by the combination of flags added.
Effects (effects) <integer> !FGD
Combination of effect flags to use.
Entity Scripts (vscripts) <scriptlist> (in all games since Left 4 Dead 2) (also in Team Fortress 2)
Space delimited list of VScript files (without file extension) that are executed after all entities have spawned. The scripts are all executed in the same script scope, later ones overwriting any identical variables and functions. Scripts executed on the worldspawn entity will be placed in root scope.
Think function (thinkfunction) <string> (in all games since Left 4 Dead 2) (also in Team Fortress 2)
Name of the function within this entity's script that'll be called automatically every 100 milliseconds, or a user-defined interval if the function returns a number. Avoid expensive operations in this function, as it may cause performance problems.
Lag Compensation (LagCompensate) <boolean> (in all games since Left 4 Dead 2) !FGD
Set to Yes to lag compensate this entity. Should be used very sparingly!
Is Automatic-Aim Target (is_autoaim_target) <boolean> (in all games since Counter-Strike: Global Offensive) !FGD
If set to 1, this entity will slow down aiming movement for consoles and joystick controllers when the entity is under the crosshairs.

Inputs

Start
Start the target moving.
Stop
Stop the target from moving.
Toggle
Toggle the target between moving and stopped.

Visible Brush:
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 Render Mode (rendermode) set to a number other than 0.
AlternativeSorting <boolean>
Swaps the rendering order of the entity. Used to attempt to fix sorting problems when rendering, for example an object rendering in front of translucent materials.
Color <color255>
Sets an RGB color for the entity.
SetDamageFilter <targetname>
Sets a filter for this entity for when it receives damage.
EnableDamageForces

Prevents the entity from being pushed by damage done to it.
EnableDraw  (in all games since Portal 2)
