func_rotating

GoldSrc

Source Engine

func_rotating is a brush entity available in all GoldSrc games. It is used to create rotating brushes.

Key Values

Targetname:

Name (targetname) <targetname>

The targetname that other entities refer to this entity by.

Global:

Global Entity Name (???) <string>

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

Angles:

Pitch Yaw Roll (Y Z X) (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.

Rotation Speed (speed) <integer>

This is the maximum speed the rotating object will achieve, in radians per minute.

Volume (10 = loudest) (volume) <integer>

Sound volume from 0 to 10 (10 loudest).

Friction (0 - 100%) (fanfriction) <integer>

The amount of rotational friction. Value must be between 0 and 100 %. The lower the friction is, the slower it spins up and spins down. This is the opposite of how it would work in real life.

Fan Sounds (sounds) <choices>

#	Description
0	No Sound
1	Fast Whine
2	Slow Rush
3	Medium Rickety
4	Fast Beating
5	Slow Smooth

WAV Name (message) <sound>

The path / filename of a custom movement sound to be played (overrides Fan Sounds).

_minlight (_minlight) <integer>

Minimum light level.

X Y Z - Move here after lighting (spawnorigin) <string>

Sets the pitch (up / down), yaw (left / right) and roll (bank) respectively. The compass in WorldCraft / Hammer corresponds to Yaw. The settings are not always (or not all) used.

Damage inflicted when blocked (dmg) <integer>

Render FX (renderfx) <choices>

Render FX mode to use, for special effects.

Value	Description
0	Normal
1	Slow Pulse
2	Fast Pulse
3	Slow Wide Pulse
4	Fast Wide Pulse
5	Slow Fade Away
6	Fast Fade Away
7	Slow Become Solid
8	Fast Become Solid
9	Slow Strobe
10	Fast Strobe
11	Faster Strobe
12	Slow Flicker
13	Fast Flicker
14	Constant Glow
15	Distort
16	Hologram (Distort + fade)

Render Mode (rendermode) <choices>

Render Mode to use.

Value	Description
0	Normal
1	Color
2	Texture
3	Glow
4	Solid
5	Additive

FX Amount (1-255) (renderamt) <integer>

Controls transparency when using another render mode then normal. 0 is completely invisible, and 255 is opaque.

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

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

ZHLT:

ZHLT Light Flags (ZHLT 2.2+) (zhlt_lightflags) <choices>

Special lighting behavior. Only available if using Zoner's Half-Life Compile Tools.

• 0 : "Default"
• 1 : "Embedded Fix"
• 2 : "Opaque (blocks light)"
• 3 : "Opaque + Embedded fix"
• 6 : "Opaque + Concave Fix"

Light Origin Target (ZHLT 2.2+) (light_origin) <targetname>

Used to define a target to sample lighting from.

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 func_illusionary; VHLT does not properly 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.

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.

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.

Flags
