Tests

Key (?)	Variable	Source (?)	Property Name	Default Value	Description
startBuilt	<choices>	EmpBuilding	Fully Built?	Yes	If yes, then the building will start with full health and be fully functional. If no, then an engineer must repair it to full health before it functions. Values: 0: No 1: Yes
model	<string>	BaseAnimating	World Model		The model this entity should appear as. 128-character limit.
skin or ModelSkin	<integer>	BaseAnimating	Skin	0	Some models have multiple skins. This value selects from the index, starting with 0.
solid	<choices>	BaseAnimating	Collisions	Use VPhysics	Method of collision for this entity. Values: 0: Not Solid 1: BSP (QPhysics) !FGD 2: Bounding Box 3: Oriented Bounding Box (Use for runtime spawned rotated brush entities) !FGD 4: Oriented Bounding Box, constrained to Yaw only !FGD 5: Custom/Test (Usually no collision with anything) !FGD 6: VPhysics
hitboxset	<string>	BaseAnimating	Hitbox Set		!FGD Sets the $hboxset to use.
body or SetBodyGroup	<integer>	BaseAnimating	Body Group	0	!FGD Sets the the active submodel ($bodygroup). Warning:Submodel changes do not appear in Hammer, which may result in an inaccurate preview.
modelindex	<short>	BaseAnimating	Model Index		!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.
modelscale	<float>	BaseAnimating	Model Scale	1.0	(in all games since ) A multiplier for the size of the model. Negative values are accepted. Scales the physics model if the entity has a VPhysics object. 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++ and Strata Source Hammer. Warning:Scaling physics objects is extremely expensive, and it can take x100 longer (~5 milliseconds) to spawn the entity! This is because it has to re-generate a new physics mesh each time. If this is an issue, recompile the model with the scaling baked in, or apply modelscale after spawning (only the visual will be scaled).
DXLevelChoice
mindxlevel	<choices>		Minimum DX Level		(removed since ) The entity will not exist if the engine is running outside the given range of DirectX Versions. Warning:If these are used, the object may break when the user switches their DirectX settings.
maxdxlevel	<choices>		Maximum DX Level		(removed since ) Default (no bounding) DX7 DX8 DX8.1 DX9 SM2 DX9 SM3
Animating
sequence	<integer>	BaseAnimating	Sequence		!FGD Default animation sequence for the model to be playing after spawning.
playbackrate	<float>	BaseAnimating	Playback Rate		!FGD A multiplier of the framerate at which animations are played, negative values are accepted. Default is 1.0.
cycle	<float>	BaseAnimating	Cycle		!FGD The current frame of the current animation, on a range from 0-1.
texframeindex	<integer>	BaseAnimating	Texture Frame		!FGD The initial frame number for all animated textures on this entity.
Effects - Render
fademindist	<float>	BaseAnimating	Start Fade Distance	-1	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.
fademaxdist	<float>	BaseAnimating	End Fade Distance	0	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.
fadescale	<float>	BaseAnimating	Fade Scale	1	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.
renderamt	<integer>	BaseAnimating	FX Amount/Transparency (0–255)	255	Transparency amount, requires a Render Mode other than Normal. 0 is invisible, 255 is fully visible.
rendercolor	<color255>	BaseAnimating	Render Color (R G B)	255 255 255	Color tint.
renderfx	<choices>	BaseAnimating	Render FX	Normal	Various somewhat legacy alpha effects. Bug:Alpha effects from 0 to 10 are unavailable due to the bug in code in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Values: 0: Normal 1: Slow Pulse (varies alpha by ±16 over a period of 1.5 s) 2: Fast Pulse (varies alpha by ±16 over a period of 0.4 s) 3: Slow Wide Pulse (varies alpha by ±64 over a period of 1.5 s) 4: Fast Wide Pulse (varies alpha by ±64 over a period of 0.4 s) 5: Slow Fade Away (decreases alpha by -1 per frame/(in all games since ) Fades out over 4 s) 6: Fast Fade Away (decreases alpha by -4 per frame/(in all games since ) Fades out over 1 s) 7: Slow Become Solid (increases alpha by +1 per frame/(in all games since ) Fades in over 4 s) 8: Fast Become Solid (increases alpha by +4 per frame) 9: Slow Strobe (transparent 0.8 s, visible 0.8 s, repeat) 10: Fast Strobe (transparent 0.2 s, visible 0.2 s, repeat) 11: Faster Strobe (transparent 0.09 s, visible 0.09 s, repeat) 12: Slow Flicker (transparent 0.18 s, visible 1.5 s, repeat) 13: Fast Flicker (transparent 0.14 s, visible 0.2 s, repeat) 14: Constant Glow ("NoDissipation;" purpose uncertain—for sprites?) (not in ) 15: Distort (causes unnatural flickering and position shifting) 16: Fade In (instant; not very useful outside of code) 17: Scale Up ("Explode"/"scale up really big!" causes wild stretching of model parts) (in ) Confirm:which branches/games is it available in, and where does it do what? 18: Glow Shell (purpose unclear) (in all games since ) (not in ) Confirm:what does this do? and which games is it in? 19: Clamp Minimum Scale ("keep this sprite from getting very small (SPRITES only!)") (not in ) 20: Environmental Rain ("for environmental rendermode, make rain") (in ) (not in ) Confirm:which games? may be nonfunctional. 21: Environmental Snow ("for environmental rendermode, make snow") (in ) (not in ) Confirm:which games? may be nonfunctional. 22: Spotlight FX ("TEST CODE for experimental spotlight") (in ) (not in ) 23: Ragdoll ("HACKHACK: TEST CODE for signalling death of a ragdoll character;" ragdolls an entity but doesn't kill it) (in ) (not in ) Confirm:which games? may be nonfunctional? 24: Fade Wider Pulse (varies alpha by ±255 over a period over a period of 0.26 s) (in ) (not in ) 25: kRenderFXMax/Fade Near Todo: what does this do? may be nonfunctional
rendermode	<choices>	BaseAnimating	Render Mode	Normal	Set a non-standard rendering mode on this entity. Values: 0: Normal 1: Color 2: Texture 3: Glow 4: Solid/Alphatest 5: Additive 6: "Environmental" (removed, does nothing) !FGD 7: Additive Fractional Frame 8: Alpha Add !FGD 9: World Space Glow 10: Don't Render
Effects - Environment
disableshadows	<boolean>	BaseAnimating	Disable Shadows	No	Prevent the entity from creating cheap render-to-texture shadows. Does not affect shadow mapping.
disablereceiveshadows	<boolean>	BaseAnimating	Disable Receiving Shadows	No	Prevent the entity from receiving shadows on itself.
shadowcastdist	<integer>	BaseAnimating	Shadow Cast Distance	0	Sets how far the entity casts dynamic shadows. 0 means default distance from the shadow_control entity.
LightingOrigin	<targetname>	BaseAnimating	Lighting Origin		Select an entity (not info_lighting!) from which to sample lighting instead of the entity's origin.
LightingOriginHack	<targetname>	BaseAnimating	Lighting Origin Offset		Obsolete(not in )!FGD The info_lighting_relative from which to sample lighting instead of the entity's origin. Use Lighting Origin instead.
