TRACK keyframe_rope
A node entity that marks a point in a rope. Traditionally, one move_rope is used to start the chain and then is followed by one or more keyframe_rope entities. However they are freely interchangeable.
KeyValues
Inherited from BaseEntityPoint
Name <target_source>
The name that other entities refer to this entity by.
Global Entity Name <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.
Pitch Yaw Roll (X Y Z) <angle> = 0 0 0
This entity's orientation in the world. Roll is the rotation around the X axis, pitch is rotation around the Y axis and yaw is the rotation around the Z axis.
Parent <target_destination>
The name of this entity's parent in the movement hierarchy. Entities with parents move with their parent. Set an attachment point via 'parentname,attachment'.

Possible Flags:
| Name | Value | Default |
| Auto Resize | 1 | ❌ |
Next Rope <target_destination>
Name of the next rope along this path.
Slack <integer> = 25

Possible Values:
| Name | Value |
| Rope | 0 |
| Semi-rigid | 1 |

Width (1-64) <float> = 2
Width of the rope.

| Indestructible | 0 |
| Breakable | 1 |
Rope Material <material> = cable/cable.vmt
The material to use when rendering the rope.
Wind <choices> = Ignore Wind (0)

KillHierarchy <void>
Removes this entity and all its children from the world.
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 <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. The entity will maintain it's position relative to the parent at the time it is attached.
ClearParent <void>
Removes this entity from the the movement hierarchy, leaving it free to move independently.
SetLocalAngles <vector>
Sets the rotation of the entity relative to the parent's rotation.
SetLocalOrigin <vector>
Sets the position of the entity relative to its parent if one exists. Otherwise relative to the world.
SetAbsAngles <vector>
Set this entity's angles, always relative to the world origin.
AddOutput <string>
Adds an entity I/O connection to this entity or changes keyvalues dynamically. Format: '<output name> <targetname>:<inputname>:<parameter>:<delay>:<max times to fire (-1 == infinite, 1 = only once)>' or 'keyvalue newval'. Very dangerous, use with care.
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.
Use <void>
More or less replicates the player interacting with an entity. (+USE)
PassUser1 <string>

PassUser2 <string>
Causes this entity's OutUser2 output to be fired, passing along the parameter unchanged.
PassUser3 <string>

Sets this entity's general think function to null. Behavior varies from entity to entity..
Touch <target_destination>
Simulates this entity touching the specified entity.
