Flash Sprite (spriteflash) <string>

Maximum target range (maxRange) <string>
Maximum range the target can be at for a non-player-controlled gun to fire.
Minimum light level (_minlight) <string>
The minimum light level the entity will have, even if its initial position in the editor is in a purely dark room. This is a very aggressive value, so even a value of 0.02 will make the entity relatively bright.

Flags

  •  [1] : Active
  •  [16] : Only Direct
  •  [32] : Controllable

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.pngTip: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.pngTip: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.
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.
