Func_rotating

Entity Description

A rotating brush entity.

Keyvalues

• targetname

<target_source> The name that other entities refer to this entity by.

• parentname

<target_destination> The name of this entity's parent in the movement hierarchy. Entities with parents move with their parent.

• origin

<origin> The position of this entity's center in the world. Rotating entities rotate around their origin.

• angles

<angle> This entity's angular orientation in the world (also used for angular effect entities).

• renderfx

<choice>

• rendermode

<choices> Used to set a non-standard rendering mode on this entity. See also 'FX Amount' and 'FX Color'.

Literal Value	Render Mode	Description (Click for more info.)
0	Normal	Default rendering.
1	Color	Obsolete.
2	Texture	Plain opacity.
3	Glow	No Z buffer checks. Fixed size on screen.
4	Solid / Alphatest	Obsolete. (Use alphatest capabilities in materials instead.)
5	Additive	Obsolete. Add this entity's color to what's behind it.
7	Additive Fractional Frame	Obsolete? Blend between animation frames.
8	Alpha Add (Not in FGD.)	TODO: Write description.
9	World Space Glow	No Z buffer checks. Fixed size in world (as opposed to on screen).
10	Dont Render / None	Don't render.

• renderamt

<integer> FX Amount (0 - 255) - How opaque the entity will be rendered. (0 is fully transparent, while 255 is fully opaque). Will not work if the rendermode keyvalue is set to Normal or Dont Render.

• rendercolor

<color255> FX Color - What color the entity will be rendered in (to the degree of the opacity set with renderamt).

• disablereceiveshadows <boolean>
• disableshadows <boolean>
• maxspeed <integer>

The maximum rotation speed of the brushes, in degrees per second.

• fanfriction <integer>

The amount of rotational friction. Value must be between 0 and 100 %.

• message <sound>

Sound to play while rotating.

• volume <integer>

The volume of the rotation sound. 0-10, where 10 is loudest.

• _minlight <string>

The minimum level of ambient light that hits this brush.

• dmg <integer>

Damage done to any entity that blocks the rotation, per frame.

• solidbsp <boolean>

Flags

• 1 : Start ON
• 2 : Reverse Direction
• 4 : X Axis
• 8 : Y Axis
• 16: Acc/Dcc
• 32: Fan Pain
• 64: Not Solid
• 128: Small Sound Radius
• 256: Medium Sound Radius
• 512: Large Sound Radius

Inputs

• Kill

Removes this entity from the world.

• KillHierarchy

Removes this entity and all its children from the world.

• AddOutput <string>

Evaluates a keyvalue/output on this entity. It can be potentially very dangerous, use with care.

Format: <key> <value>

Format: <output name> <targetname>:<inputname>:<parameter>:<delay>:<max times to fire (-1 == infinite)>

• FireUser1-4

Causes this entity's OnUser1-4 outputs to be fired. See User Inputs and Outputs.

• SetParent <target_destination>

Changes the entity's parent in the movement hierarchy.

• SetParentAttachment <string>

Change this entity to attach to a specific attachment point on its parent. Entities must be parented before being sent this input. The parameter passed in should be the name of the attachment.

• SetParentAttachmentMaintainOffset <vector> [Episode One Update]

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. The entity will maintain it's position relative to the parent at the time it is attached.

• ClearParent

Removes this entity from the the movement hierarchy, leaving it free to move independently.

• DisableShadow

Turn shadow off.

• EnableShadow

Turn shadow on.

• SetSpeed <integer>

Set the speed as a ratio of the specified Max Rotation Speed, where 0 is stopped and 1 is maxspeed.

• Start

Start the rotator rotating.

• Stop

Stop the rotator from rotating.

• StopAtStartPos

Stop the rotator from rotating when it gets around to the start position again (on its rotation axis).

• StartForward

Start the rotator rotating forward.

• StartBackward

Start the rotator rotating backward.

• Toggle

Toggle the rotator between rotating and not rotating.

• Reverse

Reverse the direction of rotation of the rotator.

Outputs

• OnUser1-4

Fired in response to FireUser1-4 inputs. See User Inputs and Outputs. !activator = activator
