Point Entity

An entity that creates tesla lightning arcs around its origin.

Keyvalues

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

  • 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.

  • Source Entity (m_SourceEntityName) <String>
    If specified, tesla lightning will originate from the specified entity. Otherwise, they originate from this entity.

  • Sound Name (m_SoundName) <String>
    Sound to be played whenever lightning is created.

  • Sprite Name (texture) <Sprite>
    Material to use for the tesla lightning beams.

  • Color (m_Color) <Color255>

  • Radius (m_flRadius) <Integer>
    Radius around the origin to find a point to strike with a tesla lightning beam.

  • Min # of Beams (beamcount_min) <Integer>
    Minimum number of tesla lightning beams to create when creating an arc.

  • Max # of Beams (beamcount_max) <Integer>
    Maximum number of tesla lightning beams to create when creating an arc.

  • Min Beam Width (thick_min) <String>
    Minimum width of the tesla lightning beams.

  • Max Beam Width (thick_max) <String>
    Maximum width of the tesla lightning beams.

  • Min Time Visible (lifetime_min) <String>
    Minimum lifetime of the tesla lightning beams.

  • Max Time Visible (lifetime_max) <String>
    Maximum lifetime of the tesla lightning beams.

  • Min Time Between Arcs (interval_min) <String>
    Minimum time delay between random arcing.

  • Max Time Between Arcs (interval_max) <String>
    Maximum time delay between random arcing.

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.

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

  • TurnOn <Void>
    Turn emitter on.

  • TurnOff <Void>
    Turn emitter off.

  • DoSpark <Void>
    Force a single arc.

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.
