prop_vehicle_jeep
prop_vehicle_jeep
is a point entity available in the Half-Life 2 series. It is a drivable vehicle with the ability to have a mounted Tau Cannon.
Half-Life 2: Episode Two gives the vehicle some additional functionality, including blinking hazard lights, a radar that detects specific targets, a holder for Magnusson devices, and various additional inputs.
Warning:It must be given a model, otherwise the game will crash when loading the map.
Tip: In Episode Two,
info_target_vehicle_transition
entities can be used to create points that the car is teleported to during a map transition, in case the player leaves it behind.Note:This entity is unimplemented in Half-Life 2: Deathmatch .
Note:It's possible to use the original buggy model and script in Episode Two, and the Tau Cannon is even still functional if enabled. However, the added hazard lights become misplaced below the car as the original model is missing attachments for them. A modified model could be used to move them to a reasonable position, but the code would need to be modified to remove them entirely like in HL2.
Todo: What exactly needs to be changed?
Note:The Episode Two car is also used in Portal , but the resources aren't included by default. Additionally, the radar causes a crash due to an unregistered user message.

(actionScale)
<float> - Todo: How fast the vehicle turns/accelerates?
BasePropPhysics:
- Physics Impact Damage Scale
(physdamagescale)
<float> - Multiplies damage received from physics impacts. 0 means the feature is disabled for backwards compatibility.
- Impact damage type
(Damagetype)
<boolean> - If true (1), damage type is sharp and the object can slice others.
- Damaging it Doesn't Push It
(nodamageforces)
<boolean> - Whether damaging the entity applies force to it.
- Scale Factor For Inertia
(inertiascale)

<string> - A list of physics keyvalues that are usually embedded in the model. Format is
key,value,key,value,…
.
- Health Level to Override Motion
(damagetoenablemotion)
<integer> - If specified, this object will start with motion disabled. Once its health has dropped below this specified amount, it will enable motion.
- Physics Impact Force to Override Motion
(forcetoenablemotion)
<float> - If specified, this object will start motion disabled. Any impact that imparts a force greater than this value will enable motion.

<boolean> (only in ) - If set, players cannot use Physics Gun on this entity.
- Sandbox Tool Whitelist
(gmod_allowtools)
<string> (only in ) - If set, only given tools can be used on this entity. You need to supply the tool class names, the names of the
.lua
files of those tools. This also includes the context menu properties!
BaseAnimating:
- Skin
(skin or ModelSkin )
<integer> - Some models have multiple skins. This value selects from the index, starting with 0.
- Collisions
(solid)
<choices> - Method of collision for this entity.
- Body Group
(body or SetBodyGroup)
<integer> !FGD - Sets the the active
$bodygroup
.
- Model Index
(modelindex)
<short> !FGD - Given the number index from dumping the
cl_precacheinfo modelprecache
table, sets entity model to the index.Warning:If an entity has animations that will be played, then the set model also must have its own sequences, else the game crashes. - Model Scale
(modelscale)
<float> (in all games since ) - A multiplier for the size of the model. Negative values are accepted. Does not alter the physics collisions in most cases, however.Warning:Negative or extremely high values can cause crashes!Note:Scale may not appear in Hammer 4.x, but will appear in-game (tested in ). This is fixed in Hammer++.
Animating
- Sequence
(sequence)
<integer> !FGD - Default animation sequence for the model to be playing after spawning.
- Playback Rate
(playbackrate)
<float> !FGD - A multiplier of the framerate at which animations are played, negative values are accepted. Default is 1.0.
- Texture Frame
(texframeindex)
<integer> !FGD - The initial frame number for all animated textures on this entity.
Effects - Render
- Start Fade Distance
(fademindist)
<float> - Distance at which the entity starts fading. If 0 or less, the entity will disappear instantly when end fade is hit. The value will scale appropriately if the entity is in a 3D Skybox.
- End Fade Distance
(fademaxdist)
<float> - Distance at which the entity ends fading. If 0 or less, the entity won't disappear at all. The value will scale appropriately if the entity is in a 3D Skybox.
- Fade Scale
(fadescale)
<float> - If specified in the
worldspawn
, or if the engine is running below DirectX 8, entities will fade out even if the fade distances above aren't specified. This value gives more control over when this happens: numbers smaller than 1 cause the entity to fade out at further distances, and greater than 1 cause it to fade out at closer distances. Using 0 turns off the forced fade altogether. See also$noforcedfade
