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

0	default (lowest)
70	dx7

• maxdxlevel

<choices> Maximum DX Level

Literal Value	Description
0	default (lowest)

• screenspacefade

<boolean> The method by which the fading distance should be determined. If off, the fade distances is the distance from the player's view to the object, in inches. If on, the fade distance is the size of the object onscreen, in pixels. The fademindist value will represent the number of pixels wide covered by the prop when it starts to fade, and the fademaxdist value will represent the *minimum* number of pixels wide covered by the prop when it fades.

• fademindist

<float> Start Fade Dist/Pixels - Distance at which the prop starts to fade. (-1 = Use fademaxdist.)

• fademaxdist

<float> End Fade Dist/Pixels - Max fade distance at which the prop is visible. (0 = Don't fade out.)

• fadescale

<float> Fade Scale - If you specify a fade in the worldspawn, or if the engine is running under dx7, 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.

• lightingorigin

<target_destination> Select an info_lighting to specify a location to sample lighting from, instead of using this entity's origin.

• disablevertexlighting [Episode One Update]

<boolean> Disable Vertex lighting

• disableselfshadowing [Episode One Update]

<boolean> Disable Self-Shadowing with vertex lighting

The Ship
