BRUSH trigger_push

A trigger volume that pushes entities that touch it.

KeyValues

Push Direction (Pitch Yaw Roll) <angle> = 0 0 0

Angles indicating the direction to push touched entities.

spawnflags <flags>

No description provided.

Possible Flags:

Name Value Default
Once Only 128
Affects Ladders (Half-Life 2) 256

Speed of Push <integer> = 40

The speed at which to push entities away, in units / second.

Scale force for alternate ticks <float> = 0

If nonzero, scale the force by this amount when running with alternate ticks. This fixes problems with an overly large force due to the longer frametime on when running with sv_alternateticks 1.

Inherited from TriggerOnce

Start Disabled? <boolean> = No

No description provided.

Filter Name <filterclass>

A filter entity to test potential activators against.

Inherited from BaseEntityBrush

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.

Origin (X Y Z) <origin>

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

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'.

Minimum Bounding Box Size <vector>

Co-ordinate of the minimum bounding box corner, relative to entity origin. The bounding box is drawn from this corner to the other one. Requires Bounding Box collisions (solid 2) to be used. Can be used to overwrite the collision shape of a brush, although it can only be a cuboid. Can be AddOutputed to change shape at runtime.

Maximum Bounding Box Size <vector>

Co-ordinate of the maximum bounding box corner, relative to entity origin. The bounding box is drawn from this corner to the other one. Requires Bounding Box collisions (solid 2) to be used. Can be used to overwrite the collision shape of a brush, although it can only be a cuboid. Can be AddOutputed to change shape at runtime.

Collisions <choices> = VPhysics (6)

Method of collision for this entity. Can be changed at runtime with AddOutput.

Possible Values:

Name Value
None 0
BSP (QPhysics) 1
Bounding Box 2
Oriented Bounding Box 3
Oriented Bounding Box, constrained to Yaw only 4
Custom (defined per-entity, if not defined the entity will have bizarre collision behavior) 5
VPhysics 6

Inputs

SetPushDirection <vector>

Sets the angles indicating the direction to push touched entities.

SetPushSpeed <integer>

Inherited from Trigger

Inherited from TriggerOnce

Enable <void>

Disable <void>

Disable this trigger, some trigger entities may also fire OnEndTouch when disabled.

Toggle <void>

Toggles this trigger between enabled and disabled states.

TouchTest <void>

Triggers either the OnTouching or OnNotTouching outputs for whether anything is touching this entity.

StartTouch <void>

Fires the OnStartTouch output. If called by an entity inside the trigger, the OnStartTouch will be fired for them as the activator. Note that this input is passed even if the player is being treated as 'not' touching the trigger while inside it.

Inherited from BaseEntityBrush

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

SetLocalAngles <vector>

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.
