Brush Entity

This entity creates a 'moving' conveyor belt. It can push things and simulate streams of water.

Attributes

• Render FX (renderfx) - Gives objects special render effects. Think of it as modifying whatever the Render Mode puts out. The options are as follows:

[list]
[li]0 = Normal

• 1 = Slow Pulse
• 2 = Fast Pulse
• 3 = Slow Wide Pulse
• 4 = Fast Wide Pulse
• 5 = Slow Fade Away
• 6 = Fast Fade Away
• 7 = Slow Become Solid
• 8 = Fast Become Solid
• 9 = Slow Strobe
• 10 = Fast Strobe
• 11 = Faster Strobe
• 12 = Slow Flicker
• 13 = Fast Flicker
• 14 = Constant Glow
• 15 = Distort
• 16 = Hologram (Distort and Fade)[/li]

[li]Render Mode (rendermode) - Controls the type of rendering that is used for an object. Options are:

• 0 = Normal
• 1 = Color
• 2 = Texture
• 3 = Glow
• 4 = Solid
• 5 = Additive[/li]

[li]Name (targetname) - Property used to identify entities.[/li]
[li]FX Amount (renderamt)[/li]
[li]FX Color (rendercolor)[/li]
[li]Pitch Roll Yaw (angles) - Set the direction of push here.[/li]
[li]ZHLT Lightflags (zhlt_lightflags)[/li]
[li]Light Origin Target (light_origin)[/li]
[li]Conveyor Speed (speed) - You guessed it, the speed the belt runs at.[/li]
[li]Minimum light level (_minlight)[/li]
[/list]

Flags

• No push (1) - Enable this to prevent the entity from pushing things.
• Not solid (2)

Notes

• For this entity to actually look like it's moving, you need to use a texture with 'scroll' in its name (like 'scrollwater1'). Set the texture's angle to the direction of the conveyor's movement (the texture will only scroll in <I>its</I> direction, not the conveyor's (so you can't make it move sideways)).

• With Not Solid enabled, there will be no push.

• You can create your own push with a trigger_push entity, which gives you greater control.
