prop_sphere is a point entity available in all Source Source games. It is essentially a prop_physics with a perfectly spherical VPhysics collision model of 12 units radius. If you want to create a spherical entity, it is far more efficient to use prop_sphere than try to create a spherical collision mesh!

Tip.pngTip:The only spherical model in Half-Life 2 is models\combine_helicopter\helicopter_bomb01.mdl.
Icon-Bug.pngBug:The collision mesh will not be visible with the vcollide_wireframe 1 command.  [todo tested in?]

Keyvalues

Radius (radius) <float> (only in Portal 2: Community Edition)
The radius for the sphere.

FGD Code

If you don't intend to make any changes to the entity's C++ code, use this:

@PointClass base(BasePropPhysics, RenderFields) studioprop() = prop_sphere : "Creates a perfect sphere."
