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

Key Values

Targetname:

Name (targetname) <string>
The targetname that other entities refer to this entity by.
Global:
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) <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
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.


Minimum light level (_minlight) <normal>
ZHLT family
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>
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.pngTip:Always enable this for func_illusionary, unless skin is set to -16 (ladder); 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.pngTip: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.pngTip: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.
Icon-Important.pngImportant: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.pngNote: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>
