Keyvalues
- World Model
(model)
<string>
- The model this entity should appear as. 128-character limit.
- 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.
Choices
Bug:In Portal 2, if an entity using QPhysics collisions is hit by Gel, the game will crash! [todo tested in?]
- 2: Bounding Box
- 3: Oriented Bounding Box (Use for runtime spawned rotated brush entities)
- 4: Oriented Bounding Box, constrained to Yaw only
- 5: Custom/Test (Usually no collision with anything)

- Body Group
(body or SetBodyGroup)
<integer> !FGD
- Sets the the active
$bodygroup
.Note:If both body
and SetBodyGroup
are present (even if set to 0), body
will be prioritized.
- Model Scale
(modelscale)
<float> (not in )
- 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. 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.
- Cycle
(cycle)
<float> !FGD
- The current frame of the current animation, on a range from 0-1.
- Texture Frame
(texframeindex)
<integer> !FGD
- The initial frame number for all animated textures on this entity.
- No Animation Sounds
(SuppressAnimSounds)
<boolean> (in all games since ) !FGD
- Silences sounds linked to animations.
Effects - Render
- FX Amount/Transparency (0–255)

- Render Color (R G B)
(rendercolor)
<color255>
- Color tint.
- Render FX
(renderfx)
<choices>
- Various somewhat legacy alpha effects. See render effects

(rendermode)
<choices>
- Set a non-standard rendering mode on this entity.

- 3: Glow
- 4: Solid/Alphatest
- 5: Additive
- 6: Removed, does nothing

Lighting / Shadows
- Disable Shadows
(disableshadows)
<boolean>
- Prevent the entity from creating cheap render-to-texture shadows. Does not affect shadow mapping.
- Disable Receiving Shadows
(disablereceiveshadows)
<boolean>
- Prevent the entity from receiving shadows on itself.
- Shadow Cast Distance
(shadowcastdist)
<integer>
- Sets how far the entity casts dynamic shadows. 0 means default distance from the
shadow_control
entity.
- Lighting Origin
(LightingOrigin)
<targetname>
- Select an entity (not
info_lighting
!) from which to sample lighting instead of the entity's origin or $illumposition.
Lighting Origin Offset (LightingOriginHack)
<targetname> (not in ) !FGD
- Deprecated.
The info_lighting_relative
from which to sample lighting instead of the entity's origin or $illumposition. Use Lighting Origin instead.
- Disable Flashlight
(disableflashlight)
<boolean> (in all games since )
- Used to disable projected texture lighting and shadows on this entity. Identical to EF_NOFLASHLIGHT.
- Disable ShadowDepth
(disableshadowdepth)
<boolean> (in all games since )
- Makes this entity not cast a shadow from
env_projectedtexture
entities. Identical to EF_NOSHADOWDEPTH.
- Projected Texture Cache
(shadowdepthnocache)
<choices> (in all games since )
- Used to hint projected texture system whether it is sufficient to cache shadow volume of this entity or to force render it every frame instead. Identical to
EF_SHADOWDEPTH_NOCACHE
.
- 0: Default
- 1: No cache—render every frame
- 2: Cache it—render only once
Performance
- 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
.
- Minimum / Maximum DX Level
(mindxlevel / maxdxlevel)
<choices> (removed since )
- The entity will not exist if the engine is running outside the given range of DirectX Versions.
Choices
