• Delay before fire (delay) - Delay before Target on Break is triggered after being broken.
• Gib Model (gibmodel) - Model to use for gibs (overrides default specified by Material Type).
• Explode Magnitude (explodemagnitude) - This will determine the size of the explosion that occurs when the brush breaks. 0 = None.

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

Flags

• Only Trigger (1) - Entity can only be activated (broken) by being triggered. Bug: even with this flag the func_breakable still can get damage from some attacks (e.g. melee attacks of some NPCs). Make sure your func_breakable has enough health to sustain the damage.
• Touch (2) - Brush will break on touch.
• Pressure (4) - Brush will break when pressured (e.g. player walking on it).
• Instant crowbar (256) - Whack it with a crowbar and it will break instantly (regardless of strength).

Notes

• If you have a stack of breakable crates, make the lower crate target the crate above it. This makes it so that when the lower crate breaks, the crate on top of it breaks along. Otherwise, the crate above will remain, floating in mid-air.
• Deathmatch only: Items spawned by this entity will keep respawning eventually after pick up.
• Other games/mods will have its own list of items to spawn on break. Please consult the respective games/mods' entity guides.
