point_posecontroller is a point entity available in all Source Source games since Half-Life 2: Episode Two Half-Life 2: Episode Two. It controls a pose parameter of a prop and cycles the pose clientside.

Note.pngNote:The posecontroller resets the prop's default animations.
Icon-Bug.pngBug:Using an invalid or non-existant Pose Parameter will crash the game.

Keyvalues


Targetname:
Name (targetname) <string>
The targetname that other entities refer to this entity by.
Prop Name (PropName) <string>
Name of the prop to control.
Icon-Bug.pngBug:This keyvalue does not receive instance fixups, making the entity mostly unusable inside instances.
Fix: Change the keyvalue type from string to target_destination in the FGD.
Pose Parameter Name (PoseParameterName) <string>
Name of the pose parameter to control.
Pose Parameter Value (PoseValue) <float>
Normalized value for the pose parameter from 0.0 and 1.0 (maps to min and max range).
Icon-Bug.pngBug:Pose Paramater Value suffers from rounding or overflow errors.
Clarify: What effect does this have?
PlacementTip.pngWorkaround: Apparently, constantly setting a new value using SetPoseValue can be used as a workaround.
Interpolation Time (InterpolationTime) <float>
Number of seconds (0.0 to 10.0) for client to match absolute pose values.
Icon-Bug.pngBug:The value must have a trailing decimal (such as .0), or it will completely break the pose controller.
Should wrap from 0.0 to 1.0 when interpolating. (InterpolationWrap) <boolean>
If set, wrap from 0.0 to 1.0 when interpolating.
Cycle Frequency (CycleFrequency) <float>
Base cycles per second from -10.0 to 10.0.
Frequency Modulation Type (FModulationType) <choices>
Control the way the interpolation blends between the poses.
Value Description
0 None
1 Sine
2 Square
3 Triangle
4 Sawtooth
5 Noise
Frequency Modulation Time Offset (FModTimeOffset) <float>
Modulation time offset from -1.0f to 1.0.
Frequency Modulation Rate (FModRate) <float>
Modulation cycles per second from -10.0f to 10.0.
Frequency Modulation Amplitude (FModAmplitude) <float>
Modulation extents from 0.0f to 10.0.

Inputs

SetPoseParameterName <string>
Sets the pose parameter to control.
SetPoseValue <float>
Set the pose parameter to a normalized value between 0.0 and 1.0 (maps to min and max range).
SetInterpolationTime <float>
Set the interpolation time to a number of seconds between 0.0 and 10.0.
SetCycleFrequency <float>
Set the pose parameter's base cycles per second from -10.0f to 10.0.
SetFModType <integer>
Set the type of frequency modulation.
SetFModTimeOffset <float>
Set the modulation time offset from -1.0f to 1.0.
SetFModRate <float>
Set the modulation cycles per second from -10.0f to 10.0.
SetFModAmplitude <float>
Set the modulation extents from 0.0f to 10.0.
RandomizeFMod <float>
Randomize the frequency modulation by an extremeness of 0.0 to 1.0.
GetFMod
Outputs the current modulation settings in console. !FGD
