func_respawnroomvisualizer
func_respawnroomvisualizer is a brush entity available in 
Team Fortress 2.
Entity description
A visual blockade or a wall that prevents players of the opposite team from entering your team's spawn room. The traditional material disappears as the player gets farther away, and fades in as the player gets closer to the entrance of the room.
Note:This entity does not block weapon fire, be it hitscan or projectiles.Note:Only materials using the correct material proxy will fade.In the special case when a team control point does not have an owner (is gray), the respawnroomvisualizer will be visible, but not solid, to either team. Map developers need to use alternatives to keep players out of these spawnrooms (i.e., one-way doors, or func brushes that can be killed when the team control point is captured).
Like filter_activator_tfteam, this entity will let the winning team pass during the humiliation period.
Keyvalues
Targetname:
- Name
(targetname)<string> - The targetname that other entities refer to this entity by.
Parentname:
- Parent
(parentname)<targetname> - Specifies a movement parent. An entity will maintain its initial offset from its parent. An attachment point can be added to the end of the name, separated by a comma.
EnableDisable:
- Start Disabled
(StartDisabled)<boolean> - Stay dormant until activated (with the
Enableinput).
Origin:
- Origin (X Y Z)
(origin)<origin> - The position of this entity's center in the world. Rotating entities typically rotate around their origin.
Global:
- Global Entity Name
(globalname)<string> - Name by which this entity is linked to another entity in a different map. When the player transitions to a new map, entities in the new map with globalnames matching entities in the previous map will have the previous map's state copied over their state.
Inputfilter:
- Input Filter
(InputFilter)<choices> - Used to specify which inputs this entity will accept.
- 0 : Allow all inputs
- 8 : Ignore Touch/Untouch
- 16 : Ignore Use
- 32 : Ignore All
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_controlentity. - Disable ShadowDepth
(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)<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.

RenderFields:
- Render Mode
(rendermode)<choices> - Set a non-standard rendering mode on this entity.
|
- Render FX
(renderfx)<choices> - 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
|
Confirm:
- Render FX / 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.
- Associated Respawn Room <targetname>
- The func_respawnroom that this entity is visualizing. This entity will have its team matched to that for the func_respawnroom, and will have it updated if the func_respawnroom ever changes team.
- Solid to Enemies <boolean>
- Determines if this area is solid to enemy players.
- Solidity <choices>
- Used to control the solidity/collision of these brushes.
- 0 : Toggle
- 1 : Never Solid
- 2 : Always Solid
- Shadows <boolean>
- Set this if this brush casts lightmap shadows.
Flags
- 2 : Ignore player +USE
Inputs
Base:
AddContext<string>- Adds to the entity's list of response contexts. See Context.
AddOutput<string>- Assigns a new keyvalue/output on this entity. For keyvalues, some rely on extra necessary code to be ran and won't work if its simply just changed through this input. There is a strict format that must be followed:
// Format of changing KeyValues: "AddOutput [key] [value]"
//// Raw text:
"OnUser1" "!self,AddOutput,targetname new_name"
// Format of adding an Output: "AddOutput {targetname}:{inputname}:{parameter}:{delay}:{max times to fire, -1 means infinite}"
//// Raw text:
"OnUser1" "!self,AddOutput,OnUser1:SetParent:!activator:0.0:-1"
// Arguments can be left blank, but the empty blank should still be contained.
//// Raw text:
"OnUser1" "!self,AddOutput,OnUser1:ClearParent::0.0:-1"
|
ClearContext- Removes all contexts from this entity's list.
ClearParent- Removes this entity from the the movement hierarchy, leaving it free to move independently.
FireUser1toFireUser4- Fires the respective
OnUseroutputs; see User Inputs and Outputs.
Kill- Removes this entity and any entities parented to it from the world.
KillHierarchy- Functions the same as
Kill, although this entity and any entities parented to it are killed on the same frame, being marginally faster thanKillinput.
RemoveContext<string>- Remove a context from this entity's list. The name should match the key of an existing context.
SetParent<string>- Move with this entity. See Entity Hierarchy (parenting).
SetParentAttachment<string>- Change this entity to attach to a specific attachment point on its parent. The entity will teleport so that the position of its root bone matches that of the attachment. Entities must be parented before being sent this input.
SetParentAttachmentMaintainOffset<string>- As above, but without teleporting. The entity retains its position relative to the attachment at the time of the input being received.
DispatchResponse<string> !FGD- Dispatches a response to the entity. See Response and Concept.
DispatchEffect<string> (removed since
) !FGD- Dispatches a special effect from the entity's origin; See also List of Client Effects. Replaced by the particle system since .
RunScriptFile<script> (in all games since
) (also in )- Execute a VScript file from disk, without file extension. The script contents are merged with the script scope of the receiving entity.
RunScriptCode<string> (in all games since) (also in )- Execute a string of VScript source code in the scope of the entity receiving the input. String quotation may be needed when fired via console. Bug:In Hammer, using string arguments will corrupt the VMF file's structure, making the file unviewable for the next Hammer session.Fix:Remove the string argument manually with a text editor.Note: Backtick characters ` are replaced with quotation marks at runtime, allowing quotation marks to be used when normally not possible.
CallScriptFunction<string> (in all games since) (also in ) !FGD- Calls a VScript function defined in the scope of the receiving entity.
TerminateScriptScope(only in) !FGD- Destroys the script scope of the receving entity.
SetLocalOrigin<coordinates> (in all games since
) !FGD- Send this entity to a spot in the map. If the entity is parented to something, it will be offset from the parent by this amount.
Parentname:
SetParent<string>- Move with this entity. See Entity Hierarchy (parenting).
SetParentAttachment<string>- Change this entity to attach to a specific attachment point on its parent. The entity will teleport so that the position of its root bone matches that of the attachment. Entities must be parented before being sent this input.
SetParentAttachmentMaintainOffset<string>- As above, but without teleporting. The entity retains its position relative to the attachment at the time of the input being received.
ClearParent- Removes this entity from the the movement hierarchy, leaving it free to move independently.
EnableDisable:
Enable
Disable- Enable/disable this entity from performing its task. It might also disappear from view.
Shadow:
DisableShadow- Turn dynamic shadows off for this entity. Identical to applying
EF_NOSHADOW.
EnableShadow- Turn dynamic shadows on for this entity.
DisableReceivingFlashlight(in all games since)- This object will not receive light or shadows from projected textures.
EnableReceivingFlashlight(in all games since)- This object may receive light or shadows from projected textures.
RenderFields:

SetSolid<boolean>- Set whether this area is solid to enemy players or not. 0 = No, 1 = Yes
Outputs
Targetname:
