You are viewing an older revision of this wiki page. The current revision may be more detailed and up-to-date. Click here to see the current revision of this page.
This page lists all NPC entities and their associated model files. This is intended to be a reference for scripted_sequence where animations are stored in the model files.

There's also the Body and Skin columns which denotes how entities handle such keyvalues if given by mappers.

Legend

Table columns:
Entity Name of the entity
Model path to model associated with entity
Body How the entity handles the body keyvalue
Skin How the entity handles the skin keyvalue
Values for body and skin:
✔️ Direct value support
📃 Use a fixed enumerated value
Discarded / unused
Unknown, but tend for direct value support
See the notes at the bottom of this page for more info.

Entity Model Body Skin Remarks

Notes

  1. For what direct value support means, and how to calculate the values, consult Entity Programming - Introduction to Entities with Animated Models#Low-level animation control and skip to the part where body and skin are discussed.
  2. The paths are relative to their respective mod folders relative to Half-Life executable:
    • Half-Life = valve/
    • Half-Life: Opposing Force = gearbox/
    • Half-Life: Blue Shift = bshift/
  3. The models in the expansion packs generally have extra animations not present in Half-Life.
  4. Dead monsters usually has an enumeration of pose values.
  5. Applying dead poses to living monsters with scripted_sequences usually don't actually make them dead. Best to use env_sprite or monster_furniture for that.

should we add all other entities not available in the FGD, as well as all other hardcoded models/sprites precached and used by all these entities?

I think adding entities used for displaying models, such as cycler* entities and env_sprite, could come in handy for those wanting to use props with multiple body/skin groups.

Ah there we go, great work! 🙌

the reason env_sprite doesn't support body and skin is that apparently those values were hijacked by the sprite renderer as part of the system that makes sprites attached to models in one of their attachment points.
