Prefabs

So SLOWFREEZE is REMOVENORAGDOLL?

They have the exact same values.--Gatelych83 (talk) 12:20, 18 November 2017 (UTC)

Yes, it should be so. Most of the names in the FGD are remnants from the original Half-Life. All of the damage types in Half-Life 2 can be found in it's source code, and I think that's where this list is taken from. — Dr. Orange talk · contributions 16:59, 18 November 2017 (UTC)

TF2's Redefined Damage Types

TF2 reuses damage types and changed how they behave in-game. I'm adding this here for future reference:

Old New Notes
DMG_AIRBOAT DMG_USE_HITLOCATIONS Used for sniper rifles and the Ambassador.
DMG_RADIATION DMG_HALF_FALLOFF Sets the damage-ramp bonus multiplier to 0.5. Used by many explosive projectiles.
DMG_ACID DMG_CRITICAL Crit damage.
DMG_ENERGYBEAM DMG_RADIUS_MAX Unused. Intended for the cut flamecannon and napalm grenades. Sets the damage-ramp bonus multiplier to 0.
DMG_PLASMA DMG_IGNITE, DMG_FROM_OTHER_SAPPER DMG_IGNITE is used by flareguns & flamethrowers and does not ignite players on its own.
DMG_SLOWBURN DMG_USEDISTANCEMOD Applies a distance-based, sinusoidal modifier to damage ranging from 50% to 150%, centered around 512 Hammer units by default. Used by most ranged weapons.
DMG_POISON DMG_NOCLOSEDISTANCEMOD Remaps the input distance when calculating the damage-ramp bonus from [0.5, 1.0] to [0.5, 0.65]. Used by the syringe gun, grenade launcher, and energy weapons in conjunction with DMG_USEDISTANCEMOD or DMG_HALF_FALLOFF.
DMG_BLAST_SURFACE DMG_MELEE Unused. Melee weapons use DMG_CLUB/DMG_SLASH instead. Usually combined with DMG_NEVERGIB and DMG_CLUB on melee weapons.
DMG_DISSOLVE DMG_DONT_COUNT_DAMAGE_TOWARDS_CRIT_RATE Unused. Self explanatory. Used by the Half-Zatoichi when killing an enemy with the same weapon.
