prop_dynamic

Source(core) Point Entity

description

A prop that can be placed in hierarchy and can play animations. It can also be configured to break when it takes enough damage. Note that the health of the object will be overridden by the health inside the model, to ensure consistent health game-wide. If the model used by the prop is configured to be used as a prop_physics (i.e. it should be physically simulated) then it CANNOT be used as a prop_dynamic. Upon level load it will display a warning in the console and remove itself. You may use a prop configured to be a prop_physics (or a prop_static) as a prop_dynamic by using a Prop_dynamic_override. However, this will remove any built in properties the prop may have.

properties

• Collisions solid(choices)
  6
  • 0 - Not Solid
  • 2 - Use Bounding Box
  • 6 - Use VPhysics
• Default Animation DefaultAnim(string)
  The name of the idle animation that this prop will revert to whenever it finishes a random or forced animation.
• Randomly Animate RandomAnimation(choices) - default: If set, this prop will randomly choose and play animations, based upon the times specified in 'Min/Max Random Anim Time'. Inbetween the random animations, it will revert to playing the 'Default Animation'.
  • 0 - No
  • 1 - Yes
• Min Random Anim Time MinAnimTime(float) - default: 5
  Minimum time between random animations.
• Max Random Anim Time MaxAnimTime(float) - default: 10
  Maximum time between random animations.
• Body Group SetBodyGroup(integer)
• Start Fade Dist fademindist(float) - default: -1
  Distance at which the prop starts to fade (<0 = use fademaxdist).
• End Fade Dist fademaxdist(float) - default: 0
  Max fade distance at which the prop is visible (0 = don't fade out)
• Fade Scale fadescale(float) - default: 1
  If you specify a fade in the worldspawn, or if the engine is running under dx7, then the engine will forcibly fade out props even if fademindist/fademaxdist isn't specified. This scale factor gives you some control over the fade. Using 0 here turns off the forcible fades. Numbers smaller than 1 cause the prop to fade out at further distances, and greater than 1 cause it to fade out at closer distances.
• Start Disabled StartDisabled(choices)
  • 0 - No
  • 1 - Yes

spawn flags

• 64: Use Hitboxes for Renderbox - default: OFF

inputs

• SetAnimation(string)
  Force the prop to play an animation. The parameter should be the name of the animation.
• SetDefaultAnimation(string)
  Set the Default Animation to the one specified in the parameter.
• SetBodyGroup(integer)
  Set the visible bodygroup, by index.
• TurnOn(void)
  Make the prop visible.
• TurnOff(void)
  Make the prop invisible.
• Enable(void)
  Enable this entity.
• Disable(void)
  Disable this entity.

outputs

• OnAnimationBegun(void)
  Fired whenever a new animation has begun playing.
• OnAnimationDone(void)
  Fired whenever an animation is complete.
