    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.

  • Authored position (authoredposition) <Choices>
    The entity may be authored in one of three positions for convenience.

    • Start position (position = 'Start Position' key)
    • Open position (position = 1)
    • Closed position (position = 0)

  • Disable Client-Side Interpolation (NoInterpolate) <Boolean>

  • Move Without Pushing Blockers (MoveWithoutPushingBlockers) <Boolean>
    Just moves the entity and anything attached to it, without going the expensive process of finding and pushing potentially blocking brush entities and NPCs. Will still push dynamic physics entities.

  • Speed (speed) <Integer>
    The speed that the brush moves, in inches per second.

  • Move Distance (movedistance) <Float>
    The distance from the starting point that the brush should move, in inches.
