func_water (Half-Life) Last edited 16 years ago2008-05-04 03:44:32 UTC

Brush Entity

You guessed it.... Water! A water texture (one prefixed with '!') will act as water, but binding it to an entity gives added advantages. By the way, this entity looks a lot like func_door, because it's designed to be able to move (flooding etc.)

Attributes

• Name (targetname) - Property used to identify entities.
• 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]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.[/li]
[li]Master (master) - The name of a multisource (or game_team_master) entity. A master must usually be active in order for the entity to work. Thus they act almost like an on/off switch, in their simplest form, and like an AND gate in the case of the multisource.[/li]
[li]Move Sound (movesnd) - These apply either to door or elevator type entities. For doors, the options are as follows:

• 0 = No Sound
• 1 = Servo (Sliding)
• 2 = Pneumatic (Sliding)
• 3 = Pneumatic (Rolling)
• 4 = Vacuum
• 5 = Power Hydraulic
• 6 = Large Rollers
• 7 = Track Door
• 8 = Snappy Metal Door

And for elevators:

• 0 = No Sound
• 1 = big elev 1
• 2 = big elev 2
• 3 = tech elev 1
• 4 = tech elev 2
• 5 = tech elev 3
• 6 = freight elev 1
• 7 = freight elev 2
• 8 = heavy elev
• 9 = rack elev
• 10 = rail elev
• 11 = squeek elev
• 12 = odd elev 1
• 13 = odd elev 2[/li]

[li]Stop Sound (stopsnd) - This property is found in both door and elevator type entities. For doors, the options are:

• 0 = No Sound
• 1 = Clang with brake
• 2 = Clang reverb
• 3 = Ratchet Stop
• 4 = Chunk
• 5 = Light airbrake
• 6 = Metal Slide Stop

• 0 = no sound
• 1 = big elev stop 1
• 2 = big elev stop 2
• 3 = freight elev stop
• 4 = heavy elev stop
• 5 = rack stop
• 6 = rail stop
• 7 = squeek stop
• 8 = quick stop[/li]

[li]Target (target) - When an entity is activated, it triggers the entity with the name specified by Target.[/li]
[li]Locked Sound (locked_sound) - Sounds to play when the entity is 'locked'. Options are:

• 5 = Chemical Door
• 6 = Radiation Door
• 7 = Gen. Containment
• 8 = Maintenance Door

[li]Unlocked Sentence (unlocked_sentence) - Sentence that is spoken when entity is 'unlocked'. Options are:

• 1 = Gen. Access Granted
• 2 = Security Disengaged
• 3 = Blast Door
• 4 = Fire Door
• 5 = Chemical Door
• 6 = Radiation Door
• 7 = General Containment
• 8 = Maintenance area[/li]

[li]FX Amount (renderamt)[/li]
[li]FX Color (rendercolor)[/li]
[li]Global Entity Name (globalname)[/li]
[li]Kill Target (killtarget)[/li]
[li]Speed (speed) - Speed at which the entity moves once triggered.[/li]
[li]Delay before close (wait) - If not toggleable then this is the amount of time before the water returns to its original position. (-1 makes it stay 'open')[/li]
[li]Lip (lip) - lip remaining after move, useful if you want the water to dissapear completely.[/li]
[li]Damage inflicted when blocked (dmg) - Not sure that this is valid.[/li]

[/list]

Flags

• Starts open (1) - If triggered, it will start in the open position
• Don't link (4)
• Passable (8)
• Toggle (32)
• Use only (256)
• Monsters Can't (512)
• Not in Deathmatch (2048)

Notes

• You can set the default wave height in the worldspawn properties (Map -> Map Properties).

• Some of the func_door-derived properties don't work with func_water.

• To get the water to look like it's flowing, use a water texture that starts with 'scroll'.

• Use a func_conveyor to create a current.
