BaseAnimating:
World Model (model) <string>
The model this entity should appear as. 128-character limit.
Skin (skin or ModelSkin Alien Swarm) <integer>
Some models have multiple skins. This value selects from the index, starting with 0.
Collisions (solid) <choices>
Method of collision for this entity.

Hitbox Set (hitboxset) <string> !FGD
Sets the $hboxset to use.
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.pngWarning:If an entity has animations that will be played, then the set model also must have its own sequences, else the game crashes.


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.

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.
FX Amount/Transparency (0–255) (renderamt) <integer>
Transparency amount, requires a Render Mode other than Normal. 0 is invisible, 255 is fully visible.
Render Color (R G B) (rendercolor) <color255>
Color tint.
Render FX (renderfx) <choices>
Various somewhat legacy alpha effects. See render effects
Render Mode (rendermode) <choices>
Set a non-standard rendering mode on this entity.

  • 0: Normal
  • 1: Color
  • 2: Texture
  • 3: Glow
  • 4: Solid/Alphatest Obsolete
  • 5: Additive
  • 6: "Environmental" (removed, does nothing) Obsolete !FGD
  • 7: Additive Fractional Frame
  • 8: Alpha Add !FGD
  • 9: World Space Glow
  • 10: Don't Render

Effects - Environment

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.


Miscellaneous

Glow Backface Multiple (glowbackfacemult) <float> (only in Left 4 Dead 2) !FGD
If this object has a glow effect, multiply the effect by this much on the sides of the object that are facing away from the viewer.

  • 1: Low
  • 2: Medium
  • 3: High

Don't render for players with Shader Details levels that exceed the minimum or maximum.
Choices
  • 0: ("Low" formingpulevel, "Very High" formaxgpulevel)
  • 1: Low
  • 2: Medium
  • 3: High
  • 4: Very High
