$collisionmodel is a QC command available in all Source Source games.

It is used to embed a static collision mesh in a model for use in VPhysics calculations. Animated models (including ones that will become ragdolls) should use $collisionjoints instead.

Warning.pngWarning:Collision meshes should have extremely few polygons. See Collision mesh for examples.
Note.pngNote:For collision meshes modeled in Blender Blender or Softimage Mod Tool Softimage Mod Tool, ensure that none of the edges are marked as hard/sharp. Hard/sharp edges generate errors in the physbox model.
Tip.pngTip:Set the Console Variable vcollide_wireframe 1 to view collision meshes in-game.

Syntax

Note.pngNote: Missing parameters for some options


$mass <float|kilograms>
Manually set the mass of the model, in kilograms.
Tip.pngTip:By default, the Player can +USE pick up 35KG max. The gravgun can pick up 250KG max. The portal gun can pick up 85KG max.
$automass
Calculate the mass of the model based on the volume of the collision model and the material defined in its prop_data.
$concave
By default, studiomdl will generate a single convex hull by 'shrinkwrapping' any concavities. You can create a concave hull by including multiple convex shapes (potentially overlapping) in your collision model, smoothing the hulls’ shading, and passing this command.
$maxconvexpieces <int> (in all games since Source 2007)
By default, the model compiler limits a concave collision model to twenty convex pieces. This command can be used to override the limit if you are creating a Costly collision model.
Note.pngNote:Introduced with the Orange Box. In the Ep1 engine, run studiomdl with -fullcollide instead.
Warning.pngWarning:Going past a hundred or so pieces may begin to create server lag when multiple objects are touching the model.
$masscenter <vector|offset>
Override the center of mass, in local coords.
$inertia <normal>
Inertia scale. Higher values will make the physics object more sturdy, while lower values will make it more wobbly.
$damping <float>
Linear damping scale. Affects how quickly an object's velocity drops to zero.
$rotdamping <float>
Rotational damping scale. Affects how quickly an object's angular velocity drops to zero.
Warning.pngWarning:This affects the pull of gravity on the model and if abused can make it appear to float gently through the air. Valve recommends using "friction" instead.
$drag <normal>
Scales air resistance. Essentially a more subtle version of $damping.
$jointskip
Rarely used. Eliminates a joint in the collision model that you don't want to use. (i.e. if you were using a render model as a ragdoll, and it has bones you don't want).
$jointmerge
Merges the vertex assignments for two joints.
$jointinertia
Like $inertia, but per-bone.
$jointdamping
Like $damping, but per-bone.
$jointmassbias
Mass is automatically distributed by volume, this lets you bias it per-bone.
$jointrotdamping
Like $rotdamping, but per-bone.
$jointcollide
If any $jointcollide pairs are specified, only those joints collide with each other.
$jointconstrain
The limits of the joint's movement.
$rootbone
The parent-most bone that actually has collision geometry.
$noselfcollisions
Turns off all collisions between bones in this model.
$animatedfriction
Used to animate the amount of friction on joints over time.
$addconvexsrc <file> "offset pos[ <float> <float> <float> ] angle[ <float> <float> <float> ] scale[ <float> ] concave" (only in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive)
Adds a convex model onto the collision model with the specified position, angle, and scale. The "concave" option is optional.
Note.pngNote:It must be formatted EXACTLY like this!
$remove2d
Used to remove flat shaded faces. Off by default.
$weldposition <float>
The amount of distance tolerance to use when trying to merge vertices of separate concave pieces in order to create a single concave piece.
$weldnormal <float>
The amount of tolerance to check if the vertice normal is similar enough to consider merging to a unique vertice. Used in conjunction with $weldposition.
$assumeworldspace
Assumes the joints are positioned in world space.

Example

$collisionmodel "tree_deciduous_01a_physbox"
{
	$mass 350.0
	$concave
}
