keyframe_rope

Source(core) KeyFrame Entity

description

A node entity that marks a point in a rope. The first node in the rope should be a move_rope, followed by 1 or more keyframe_ropes.

properties

• Name targetname(target_source)
  The name that other entities refer to this entity by.
• Parent parentname(target_destination)
  The name of this entity's parent in the movement hierarchy. Entities with parents move with their parent.
• Pitch Yaw Roll (Y Z X) angles(angle) - default: 0 0 0
  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.
• Next KeyFrame NextKey(target_destination)
  Name of the next keyframe along this keyframe path.
• Speed (units per second) MoveSpeed(integer) - default: 64
• Slack Slack(integer) - default: 25
  How much extra length the rope has (by default it has the length between its two endpoints in the editor).
• Type Type(choices)
  • 0 - Rope
  • 1 - Semi-rigid
  • 2 - Rigid
• Subdivision Subdiv(integer) - default: 2
  Number of subdivisions between each rope segment. Maximum value is 8. Higher values make smoother ropes, but are slower to render.
• Barbed Barbed(choices) - default: Test effect that makes the rope look sharper and more barbed.
  • 0 - No
  • 1 - Yes
• Width (1-64) Width(string) - default: 2
  Width of the rope.
• Texture Scale TextureScale(string) - default: 1
  This changes the texture resolution. The default resolution is 4 pixels per inch. Larger values stretch the texture and smaller values scrunch it up.
• Collide with world Collide(choices)
  • 0 - No
  • 1 - Yes
• Start Dangling Dangling(choices) - default: When set to Yes, the rope starts out detached from its target endpoint.
  • 0 - No
  • 1 - Yes
• Breakable Breakable(choices) - default: When set to yes, the rope can be detached from either endpoint when shot.
  • 0 - No
  • 1 - Yes
• Rope Material RopeMaterial(material) - default: cable/cable.vmt
  The material to use when rendering the rope.

spawn flags

• 1: Auto Resize - default: OFF

inputs

• Kill(void)
  Removes this entity from the world.
• KillHierarchy(void)
  Removes this entity and all its children from the world.
• AddOutput(string)
  Adds an entity I/O connection to this entity. Format
• FireUser1(void)
  Causes this entity's OnUser1 output to be fired.
• FireUser2(void)
  Causes this entity's OnUser2 output to be fired.
• FireUser3(void)
  Causes this entity's OnUser3 output to be fired.
• FireUser4(void)
  Causes this entity's OnUser4 output to be fired.
• SetParent(string)
  Changes the entity's parent in the movement hierarchy.
• SetParentAttachment(string)
  Change this entity to attach to a specific attachment point on it's parent. Entities must be parented before being sent this input. The parameter passed in should be the name of the attachment.
• ClearParent(void)
  Removes this entity from the the movement hierarchy, leaving it free to move independently.
• SetScrollSpeed(float)
  Set the speed at which the texture scrolls.
• SetForce(string)
  Apply a force instantaneously to the rope. The parameter should be a vector containing the force to be applied (X Y Z).
• Break(void)
  Break the rope, if it's marked to do so.

outputs

• OnUser1(void)
  Fired in response to FireUser1 input.
• OnUser2(void)
  Fired in response to FireUser2 input.
• OnUser3(void)
  Fired in response to FireUser3 input.
• OnUser4(void)
  Fired in response to FireUser4 input.
