phys_ragdollmagnet is a point entity available in all Source games. It acts like a magnet for ragdolls. Useful for crafting exaggerated ragdoll behavior (i.e. guys falling over rails on death). If the Bar Magnet spawnflag is set, the magnet works like it was a cylindrical magnet i.e. it attracts ragdolls to the nearest point on a line.

Example:See steamapps/common/sourcesdk_content/hl2/mapsrc/sdk_phys_ragdollmagnet.vmf for example use (comes with Source SDK installation ^[confirm])

The name that other entities refer to this entity by, via Inputs/Outputs or other keyvalues (e.g. parentname or target).

See also: Generic Keyvalues, Inputs and Outputs available to all entities

Bar Magnet Axis (axis) <vector>

Axis of the bar magnet, if the spawnflag is active.

Effective Radius (radius) <float>

Radius in which ragdolls are affected around this entity's origin.

Force (force) <float>

Magnetic force to apply to ragdolls within the radius. Expressed as kilograms per inch per second. So a force of 1000 will add 10 inches/second to a 100kg man. It will add 100 inches per second to a 10kg headcrab.

Tip:Using a negative value will propel ragdolls away from the magnet.

Entity to affect (target) <string>

If specified, the phys_ragdollmagnet will only affect the target entity.

Start Disabled (StartDisabled) <boolean>

Stay dormant until activated (with theEnableinput).
