It is used to display a model for testing purposes. Shooting it will cycle through the model's animations.

Important:This is a debug entity, and will not survive save-loads. Use prop_dynamic or prop_dynamic_override instead.

AltNames: This entity is also tied to model_studio.

Keyvalues

Name (targetname) <string>: The name that other entities refer to this entity by, via Inputs/Outputs or other keyvalues (e.g. parentname or target).
Also displayed in Hammer's 2D views and Entity Report. See also: Generic Keyvalues, Inputs and Outputs available to all entities

Pitch Yaw Roll (Y Z X) (angles) <angle>: This entity's orientation in the world. Pitch is rotation around the Y axis, yaw is the rotation around the Z axis, roll is the rotation around the X axis.

Studiomodel:

World Model (model) <string>: The model this entity should appear as. 128-character limit.
Skin (skin) <integer>: Some models have multiple skins. This value selects from the index, starting with 0.
Tip:Hammer's model browser automatically updates this value if you use it to view different skins.
Model Scale (modelscale) <float> (in all games since ) (also in ): A multiplier for the size of the model.; Tip:In Hammer++ with a prop selected in 3D view, hold Ctrl and scroll the mouse wheel to change the modelscale in increments of 0.5. Holding ⇧ Shift will scale it in smaller increments of 0.05.
Bodygroup (body / SetBodyGroup) <integer>: Some models have multiple submodels. This value selects from the index, starting with 0. May be overridden by animations and/or game code.
Note:If both body and SetBodyGroup are present (even if set to 0), body will be prioritized.

Sequence (sequence) <integer> !FGD: Default animation sequence for the model to be playing after spawning. May be overridden by game code.
Lighting Origin (lightingorigin) <targetname>: Select an entity (not info_lighting!) from which to sample lighting instead of the entity's origin or $illumposition.

Shadow:

Disable Shadows (disableshadows) <boolean>: Prevents the entity from creating cheap render-to-texture shadows, or lightmap shadows if the entity is a prop_static. Does not affect shadow mapping.
Disable Receiving Shadows (disablereceiveshadows) <boolean>: Prevent the entity from receiving dynamic shadows on itself.
Shadow Cast Distance (shadowcastdist) <integer> !FGD: Sets how far the entity casts dynamic shadows. 0 means default distance from the shadow_control entity.
Disable Shadow Depth (disableshadowdepth) <boolean> (in all games since ): Used to disable rendering into shadow depth (for projected textures) for this entity.
Disable flashlight (disableflashlight) <boolean> (in all games since ): Used to disable projected texture lighting and shadows on this entity.
Projected Texture Cache (shadowdepthnocache) <integer choices> (in all games since ): Used to hint projected texture system whether it is sufficient to cache shadow volume of this entity or to force render it every frame instead.

Choices
0 : Default 1 : No cache - render every frame 2 : Cache it - render only once

Render in Fast Reflections (drawinfastreflection) <boolean> (in all games since ): If enabled, this entity will render in fast water reflections (i.e. when a water material specifies $reflectonlymarkedentities) and in the world impostor pass.

Render FX (renderfx) <choices>: Various somewhat legacy alpha effects. See render effects

RenderFields:

Render Mode (rendermode) <choices>: Set a non-standard rendering mode on this entity.

Render Modes
0: Normal 1: Color 2: Texture 3: Glow 4: Solid/Alphatest 5: Additive 6: Removed, does nothing 7: Additive Fractional Frame 8: Alpha Add 9: World Space Glow 10: Don't Render

Render FX (renderfx) <choices>: Various somewhat legacy alpha effects. See render effects
Render 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.
Disable Receiving Shadows (disablereceiveshadows) <boolean>: Prevent the entity from receiving shadows on itself.

RenderFields:

Alpha <integer 0–255>: Sets the entity's transparency to a number from 0 (invisible) to 255 (fully visible). Requires the entity to have its rendermode set to a number other than 0.
