[li]Global Entity name (globalname)[/li]
[li]FX Amount (renderamt)[/li]
[li]FX Color (rendercolor)[/li]
[li]ZHLT Lightflags (zhlt_lightflags)[/li]
[li]Light Origin Target (light_origin)[/li]
[li]Rotation Speed (speed) - This is the maximum speed the rotating object will acheive.[/li]
[li]Volume (volume) - Sound volume from 0 to 10 (10 loudest).[/li]
[li]Friction (fanfriction) - If the Acc/Dcc flag is enabled, this value determines the time it takes to reach full speed or to stop after being triggered.[/li]
[li]Fan Sounds (sounds) - The sound to make while moving. Values:
0 = no sound
1 = fast whine
2 = slow rush
3 = medium rickety

• Y axis (8) - If enabled, the rotation will be in the Y axis.
• Acc/Dcc (16) - If enabled, the entity will accelerate and decelerate from maximum speed based on the Friction property.
• Fan Pain (32) - With this enabled, the player will be hurt when coming into contact with the brush.

• An origin brush needs to be part of the entity to specify its axis of rotation.
