POINT logic_measure_movement
An entity that can measure the movement of an entity relative to another entity and apply that movement to a third entity.
KeyValues
Entity to Measure <target_destination>
Entity whose movement you want to measure.
Measure Reference <target_destination>
The movement of Entity to Measure will be measured relative to this entity.
Entity to Move <target_destination>
This entity will be moved to mimic the motions of Entity to Measure.
Movement Reference <target_destination>
The Entity to Move will move relative to this entity.
Movement scale <float> = 1
A scale to divide the measured movements by, before applying those movements to the Entity to Move. 1 = target entity moves as much as the measured entity, 2 = target entity moves half as far as the measured entity, and 0.5 = target entity moves twice as far as the measured entity.
Fire position outputs <boolean> = No
Allows OutPosition and OutAngles to be fired with the resulting position while this entity is active. Does not apply to the GetPosition input.
Measurement Type <choices> = Position (0)
No description provided.
Possible Values:
| Name | Value |
| Position | 0 |
| Eye position | 1 |
| Attachment point | 2 |
spawnflags <flags>
No description provided.
Possible Flags:
| Name | Value | Default |
| Ignore X | 1 | ❌ |
| Ignore Y | 2 | ❌ |
| Ignore Z | 4 | ❌ |
| Use 'Ignore' flags for origin instead of angles | 8 | ❌ |
| Use new teleportation rules (smoother movement) | 16 | ✅ |
| Don't change target's angles | 32 | ❌ |
Measurement Attachment <string>
Only useful for the ''Attachment point'' measurement type. This attachment should be on the Entity to Measure and measurements will correspond to its position and angles.
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'.
Inputs
SetMeasureTarget <string>
Set the Entity to Measure, whose movement should be measured.
SetMeasureReference <string>
Set the Measure Reference entity.
Target <string>
Set the Entity to Move, which will be moved to mimic the measured entity.
SetTargetReference <string>
Set the Movement Reference entity.
SetTargetScale <float>
Set the scale to divide the measured movements by.
SetMeasureType <integer>
Sets the measurement type.
SetMeasureAttachment <string>
Sets the measurement attachment.
ShouldOutputPosition <boolean>
Sets whether we are allowed to fire position outputs while this entity is active.
GetPosition <void>
Initiates a single measurement with the current settings, only firing OutPosition and OutAngles without moving anything. (it doesn't need a target to be available) This input ignores the 'Fire position outputs' keyvalue and instead repurposes it to modify who the outputs' activator should be. If 'Fire position outputs' is enabled, the target will be used as the activator if it is available. If 'Fire position outputs' is disabled, the activator that fired GetPosition will be used instead.
Enable <void>
Enable the logic_measure_movement.
Disable <void>
Disable the logic_measure_movement.
Inherited from BaseEntityPoint
Kill <void>
Removes this entity from the world.
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>
Causes this entity's OutUser1 output to be fired, passing along the parameter unchanged.
PassUser2 <string>
Causes this entity's OutUser2 output to be fired, passing along the parameter unchanged.
PassUser3 <string>
Causes this entity's OutUser3 output to be fired, passing along the parameter unchanged.
PassUser4 <string>
Causes this entity's OutUser4 output to be fired, passing along the parameter unchanged.
FireRandomUser <void>
Fires OnUser1, OnUser2, OnUser3, or OnUser4 with a 25% chance of each.

RemoveOutput <string>
Removes all instances of the named output on this entity. Wildcards are supported, meaning you could just pass '*' to wipe all outputs from this entity.
AcceptInput <string>
Fires the named input on this entity. Format: '<input name>:<parameter>:<activator>:<caller>:<output ID>' (SetTarget:cheese). Everything beyond the input name is optional. Mind the fact this is arranged differently from FireOutput, having the parameter right after the input name.

Cancels any events fired by this entity that are currently pending in the I/O event queue.

SetLocalVelocity <vector>

Removes spawnflag(s) to this entity. Many spawnflags have their respective numbers suffixed in this FGD.
AddSolidFlags <integer>
Adds solid flags to this entity.
RemoveSolidFlags <integer>
Removes solid flags from this entity.
ChangeVariable <string>
Similar to AddOutput, except it changes an internal variable similar to logic_datadesc_accessor instead. Very dangerous, use with care.

SetTarget <target_destination>
Sets this entity's target. This is specific to certain entities, particularly logic entities that involve a target.
SetOwnerEntity <target_destination>
Sets this entity's owner entity. This has nothing to do with parenting and has more to do with collision and kill credits.
SetThinkNull <void>
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.
