Keyvalues

Targetname:

Name (targetname) <string>

The targetname that other entities refer to this entity by.

Push Direction (pushdir) <angle>

Angles indicating the direction to push touched entities.

Note:In changing this keyvalue via "Point At..." creates a new "angles" property. Copy its value to "Push Direction".

Speed of Push (speed) <integer>

The speed at which to push entities away, in inches / second.

Scale force for alternate ticks (alternateticksfix) <float>

If nonzero, scale the force by this amount when running with alternate ticks. This fixes problems with an overly large force due to the longer frametime on when running with sv_alternateticks 1.

Trigger on Start Touch (triggeronstarttouch) <boolean> (only in )

Trigger on start touch instead of on touch.

Only Falling Players (OnlyFallingPlayers) <boolean> (in all games since ) (also in )

Only affect players if they are falling (and not pressing jump).

Player fall speed (FallingSpeedThreshold) <float> (in all games since ) (also in )

A player must be falling this fast for them to be pushed.

BaseTrigger:

Filter Name (filtername) <filter>

A filter entity to test potential activators against.

Start Disabled (StartDisabled) <boolean>

Stay dormant until activated (with theEnableinput).
