textureScrollVar- Name of variable to place result in. Must be a matrix or vector type variable (i.e.
$baseTextureOffset).
Camo Only used by material "Dev\dev_camo.vmt". This generates a texture matching the surroundings, which appears to be intended to be used for Combine Elite at some point. Much of the code is disabled, so this is not usable.

$FleshSubsurfaceTint- This is just set to
[0 0 0 0].
HeliBlade Controls transition on npc_helicopter's blades. This fades in or out the blades to convert from a set of physical blades into a spinning blurred circle.
$fadeout- If the variable is set to 1, fade out the blades as it starts up. If 0, fade in.
$alpha- This proxy sets the value of the alpha variable.
ParticleSphereProxy
Only used by material "particle\SmokeStack.vmt". Seems to be defined in particle_proxies.cpp. Valve remark: "FIXME: Is this even needed any more?"
PlayerLogo Internal proxy for "decals/playerlogo##" decals. Generates and assigns a texture for a specific player index.
Shadow Only used by Shadow. No known parameters. This sets lots of material parameters to render projected texture shadows.
ShadowModel Only used by ShadowModel. No known parameters. This sets lots of material parameters for rendering projected texture shadows.
ToggleTexture Toggles a texture based on the frame number set by env_texturetoggle. Must be attached to an entity.
toggleTextureVar- Texture to modify based on frames.
toggleTextureFrameNumVar- Variable used for frame number.
toggleShouldWrap- Whether the animation should wrap over not.

Dummy Prints developer messages in response to the proxy being created, the proxy being initialized, the proxy being bound to an entity, and the proxy being removed.
Miscellaneous
ConVar Template:L4D add Allows you to link a specific variable to a ConVar a client has set.
convar- The ConVar name to link to. ( E.G. "mat_specular" ) 注意：Strings will not be parsed through, the value of the ConVar must be a number.
resultVar- Returns the value of the ConVar. If this is a vector type, all axes will be set individually to the ConVar's value.

FizzlerVortex Sends data to SolidEnergy shader for fizzler's effects - the location of nearby cubes, flashing from portal shots, and power transition times. Doesn't take any arguments.
WheatlyEyeGlow Presumably controls the glow effect on Wheatley. Not actually used.
Lightedmouth Used on the various Personality Cores and PoTaTOS to blink their eye-light in sync with their choreo scenes. When idle, the tint is still partially lit. On the viewmodel, it can also be manually controlled via VScript to make GLaDOS appear to shut down.
resultVar- A tint to pass to
$selfillumtint.
LightedFloorButton Used on the clean Super Button materials, sets selfillumtint depending on the pressed state. Somewhat useless, since the model swaps skins at this point and it could just have hardcoded the two values.
