Info holder of all relevant keyvalues inheriting the CBaseEntity class. Template parameters are vital in displaying the appropiate info, because new games have added new features throughout the years. See Help:Templates for more info on named parameters.

Not all CBaseEntity keyvalues are not covered here. But you can see them all at the Uncovered Keyvalues page.

Note:After you edit this template, please make sure you also edit the targetted entity's page. Per-game keyvalues may be duplicated, for technical reasons. See also FGD Template Prototype.

Usage

These must be used in a specific syntax! - ALL parameters must be given a value of 1, like:l4d2=1. Only one game parameter can be used at once.

{{KV BaseEntity|l4d2=1}}

Parameters

If you leave the parameter field empty (using no arguments), the template will automatically fallback to displaying keyvalues from the current default game.

All parameters for this template:

• base- No game specific information are displayed, and base engine features only. (The / iteration engine)
• l4d2- Set template KVs specific to (VScripts)
• csgo- [CURRENT DEFAULT] Set template KVs specific to (VScripts + Auto-aim targets)
• brush- Additionaly includes info specific to all sorts of brushes. For extra keys applicable only to visible brushes, use Template:KV visiblebrush in conjunction. Can be used along a game parameter.

Show Deprecated:  

• css- (DEPRECATED 10/1/18: Previously used for a notice that was thought to apply to all entities in CS:S. The purpose of this now exists in Template:PreservedEnt. This is completely removed from the template and won't affect anything.) (DEPRECATED 24/3/2021 was brought back for info specific to theteamnumkey. Use {{KV TeamNum}} instead.)
• l4d- (DEPRECATED 9/21/18: Found out these keyvalues only work with renderable things (cpu / gpu level). They have been migrated to visiblebrush and BaseAnimating KV templates. This is completely removed from the template and won't affect anything.)
• tf2- (DEPRECATED 20/4/2021: Was only used to showTeamNumkeyvalue's TF2 specific information. Use {{KV TeamNum}} instead.)

Refer to the Examples section for samples.
