  • Parent Model Bone/Attachment Name (parentAttachmentName) <ParentAttachment>
    The name of the bone or attachment to attach to on the entity's parent in the movement hierarchy. Use !bonemerge to use bone-merge style attachment.

  • Model Attachment position offset (local.origin) <Vector>
    Offset in the local space of the parent model's attachment/bone to use in hierarchy. Not used if you are not using parent attachment.

  • Model Attachment angular offset (local.angles) <Angle>
    Angular offset in the local space of the parent model's attachment/bone to use in hierarchy. Not used if you are not using parent attachment.

  • Model Attachment scale (local.scales) <Vector>
    Scale in the local space of the parent model's attachment/bone to use in hierarchy. Not used if you are not using parent attachment.

  • Use Model Attachment Offset (useLocalOffset) <Boolean>
    Whether to respect the specified local offset when doing the initial hierarchical attachment to its parent.

  • Entity Scripts (vscripts) <ScriptList>
    Name(s) of script files that are executed after all entities have spawned.

  • Name (targetname) <TargetSource>
    The name that other entities refer to this entity by.

  • Target of Laser (LaserTarget) <TargetDestination>
    Name of entity, or entities, to strike at. The target is randomly chosen if there are multiple entities matching the given name.

  • Brightness (1 - 255) (renderamt) <Integer>

  • Beam Color (R G B) (rendercolor) <Color255>

  • Width of Beam (width) <Float>
    The width of the laser beam, in pixels.

  • Amount of noise (0-255) (NoiseAmplitude) <Integer>

  • Sprite Name (texture) <Sprite>
    The material used to draw the laser beam.

  • End Sprite (EndSprite) <Sprite>
    If specified, this sprite will be drawn at the end of the laser beam.

    Rate at which the beam texture should scroll along the beam.

  • Starting Frame (framestart) <Integer>
    The frame to start the beam texture on.

  • Damage / second (damage) <String>
    How much damage this laser does. per second. to things it hits.

  • Dissolve Type (dissolvetype) <Choices>

    • None
    • Energy
    • Heavy electrical
    • Light electrical

  • Spawnflags (spawnflags) <Flags>

    • Start On
    • StartSparks

Inputs

  • SetParent <TargetDestination>
    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.

  • RunScriptFile <String>
    Load and execute a script file

  • RunScriptCode <String>
    Execute a fragment of script code

  • CallScriptFunction <String>
    Call a script function

  • CallPrivateScriptFunction <String>
    Calls a script function from this entity's private script scope.

  • CallGlobalScriptFunction <String>
    Calls a script function in the global script scope.

  • Kill <Void>
    Removes this entity from the world.

  • KillHierarchy <Void>
    Removes this entity and all its children from the world.

  • AddOutput <String>
    Adds an entity I/O connection to this entity. Parameter format: outputname>targetname>inputname>parameter>delay>max times to fire (-1 == infinite). 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.
