Point Entity

An entity that acts like a magnet for ragdolls. Useful for crafting exaggerated ragdoll behavior (i.e. guys falling over rails on death). If the Bar Magnet spawnflag is set, the magnet works like it was a cylindrical magnet i.e. it attracts ragdolls to the nearest point on a line.

Keyvalues

  • Parent (parentname) <TargetDestination>
    The name of this entity's parent in the movement hierarchy. Entities with parents move with their parent.

  • Parent 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. NOTE: If this is specified the Hammer transform will be disregarded, even if 'Use Local Transform' is NOT specified (in that case local transform will be identity)

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

  • Local Origin (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.

  • Local Angles (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.

  • Local 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.

  • Start Disabled (StartDisabled) <Boolean>

  • 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.

  • Bar Magnet Axis (axis) <Vecline>

  • Effective Radius (radius) <Float>
    Radius in which ragdolls are affected around this entity's origin.

  • Force (force) <Float>
    Magnetic force to apply to ragdolls within the radius. Expressed as kilograms per inch per second. So a force of 1000 will add 10 inches/second to a 100kg man. It will add 100 inches per second to a 10kg headcrab.

  • Entity to affect (target) <String>
    If specified, the phys_ragdollmagnet will only affect the target entity.

  • Spawnflags (spawnflags) <Flags>

    • Bar Magnet (use axis helper)

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.

  • FollowEntity <String>
    Bone merges this entity to a parent entity. Call again passing nothing to end the bone merge.

  • Enable <Void>
    Enable this entity.

  • Disable <Void>
    Disable this entity.

  • 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.

  • KillConstrained <Void>
    Removes this entity, all its children, and anything constrained to it, 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.

  • FireUser4 <Void>
    Causes this entity's OnUser4 output to be fired.

Outputs

  • OnUser1 <Void>
    Fired in response to FireUser1 input.

  • OnUser2 <Void>
    Fired in response to FireUser2 input.

  • OnUser3 <Void>
    Fired in response to FireUser3 input.

  • OnUser4 <Void>
    Fired in response to FireUser4 input.

  • OnKilled <Void>
    Fired when the entity is killed and removed from the game. Parameter is the inflictor.
