Attributes

• Name (targetname) - Property used to identify entities.
• Target (target) - When an entity is activated, it triggers the entity with the name specified by Target.
• Render FX (renderfx) - Gives objects special render effects. Think of it as modifying whatever the Render Mode puts out. The options are as follows:
  • 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)
• 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
• Pitch Yaw Roll (angles) - Sets the pitch (up / down), yaw (left / right) and roll (bank) respectively. The compass in WorldCraft / Hammer corresponds to Yaw. The settings are not always (or not all) used.
• FX Amount (renderamt)
• FX Color (rendercolor)
• Global Entity Name (globalname)
• (Team)Master (master)
• Yaw rate (yawrate) - The speed of the left/right movement of the gun.
• Yaw range (yawrange) - Range of left/right movement in degrees.
• Yaw tolerance (yawtolerance)
• Pitch rate (pitchrate) - The speed of the up/down movement of the gun.
• Pitch range (pitchrange) - Range of up/down movement in degrees.
• Barrel Length (barrel) - The distance from the center of the origin brush to the tip of the barrel.
• Barrel Horizontal (barrely) - Horizontal distance from the center of the origin brush to the center of the Barrel.
• Barrel Vertical (barrelz) - Vertical distance from the center of the origin brush to the center of the Barrel.
• Smoke Sprite (spritesmoke) - The sprite that will be shown at the end of the barrel when the gun is fired.
• Flash Sprite (spriteflash) - The sprite that will be shown at the end of the barrel when the gun is fired.
• Sprite Scale (spritescale) - Scale of the sprites that appear at the end of the barrel. 1 is normal, 0.5 is half, etc.
• Rotate Sound (rotatesound)
• Rate of Fire (firerate) - Number of bullets fired per second.
• Damage per Bullet (bullet_damage) - Default is 0, so if you want it to kill things you must enter something.
• Firing Persistance (persistance) - Used by non-player-controlled guns to determine for how long the gun carries on firing after the player has left its range.
• Bullet accuracy (firespread) - How accurate the gun is. Values:
  • 0 = perfect shot
  • 1 = small cone
  • 2 = medium cone
  • 3 = large cone
  • 4 = extra-large cone
• Minimum target range (minRange) - Minimum range the target can be at for a non-player-controlled gun to fire.
• Maximum target range (maxRange) - Maximum range the target can be at for a non-player-controlled gun to fire.
• Minimum light level (_minlight) - The minimum light level the entity will have, even if its initial position in the editor is in a purely dark room. This is a very aggressive value, so even a value of 0.02 will make the entity relatively bright.
• ZHLT Lightflags (zhlt_lightflags)
• Light Origin Target (light_origin) - Overrides the position from which the entity will receive its lighting when the map compiles. Useful if the entity doesn't have the correct lighting in-game. This can be used with an info_target.
• Bullets (bullet) - Projectile type:
  • 0 = none
  • 1 = 9mm
  • 2 = MP5
  • 3 = 12mm

Flags

• Active (1) - If enabled, the gun will be active when the map loads. If not enabled, the gun will need to be triggered to work (if non-player-controlled).
• Only direct (16) - Gun will only fire if the target is in direct line of sight.
• Controllable (32) - If enabled, the gun can be controlled by the player through a func_tankcontrols entity.

Notes

• The func_tank needs to be created facing 0 degrees (to the right in the top (x/y) view). The angle that the weapon faces in-game can be controlled with the compass (Yaw).

• Targeting an ambient_generic (with its Not Toggled and Start Silent flags enabled) allows you to give the gun a sound.

• You can also target an env_shooter to shoot out spent shells!
