Spirit Entity Guide
Version 0.7.1 (9th July 2002 )

General Information:

Contents:

• targetname: Name
• angles: Pitch Yaw Roll (Y Z X)
• target: Target
• delay: Delay before trigger
• killtarget: KillTarget
• movewith: Moves with
  
• m_iszFireOnBegin: Target after movement
  When the animation starts, this target will be triggered. (The standard 'target' value is triggered only when the sequence ends.)
• m_iszEntity: Target Monster [LE]
  Specify either a classname (e.g. monster_barney) or a targetname to look for.
• m_iszPlay: Action Animation
  Animation to play after moving. Note that a monster_generic won't add any sounds or special effects to its animations. If you need those to appear, you'll have to use the specific monster_<whatever> entities, instead.
• m_iRepeats: Repeat animation X times
  
• m_fRepeatFrame: Repeat from frame
  
• m_iszIdle: Idle Animation
  If you specify an idle animation, then when the level begins the monster will be frozen and made to play that animation. Later, when the sequence entity gets triggered, the monster will play the action animation. After that it reverts to its normal AI.
• m_flRadius: Search Radius
  If "Target Monster" is a classname, the game picks a random monster of that type from within this search radius.
• m_iszAttack: Destination (blank = here) [LE]
• m_fMoveTo: Move to Position
  • No (don't turn)
  
  
  Don't move at all. (Turn Type will be ignored.)
  • Walk
  
  
  Walk to the entity, then turn.
  • Run
  
  
  Run to the entity, then turn.
  • Instantaneous
  
  
  Teleport to the entity. Also, the monster's angle will instantly change to whatever is specified in its "turn type".
  Spirit fixes a bug which used to freeze a monster when playing a script with this setting.
  • No - Only turn
  
  
• m_fTurnType: Turn Type
  
  • Match Angle
  
  
  Turn to the angle given by the sequence entity's "angle" value.
  • Turn to face
  
  
  Turn to look at the sequence entity.

calc_ratio: Ratio adjustment

• targetname: Name

calc_subvelocity: Calculate velocity based on entity properties
e.g. if the range were 0%-100%, and the value were 120%, the result would be 100%. In the case above, the result would be 20%. In the case above, the result would be 80%.

calc_velocity_path: Calculate velocity for travelling
Calculate the velocity that would be needed to travel from one point to another. By default, things will take 0.1 seconds to travel this distance. (Use the "length factor" setting to change this.)
This can also be used to calculate (for example) where a beam's endpoint should be, in order for it to point towards a given location.

• targetname: Name
• target: Start position [LP]
• netname: Destination
• armorvalue: Destination is
  • Position [LP]
  
  
  The destination is the end position.
  • Offset [LV]
  
  
  To find the end position, add this offset to the start position.
• health: Length Calculation
  • Square (X = X*X)
  
  
  • None (X = X)
  
  
  • Normalise (X = 1)
  
  
  With this choice, the actual distance between the points is ignored. So instead of taking a fixed time to travel, the object will move at a fixed speed, or the beam will extend a fixed distance.
  • Reciprocal (X = 1/X)
  
  
  • Inverse Square (X = 1/X*X)
  
  
• noise: Length factor [LR]
  E.g: 2.0 will specify "twice as fast/twice as far", and 0.5 will specify "half as fast/half as far".
  A negative number here will make the line go in the opposite direction.
• frags: Line is blocked by
  If this is set, a line will be drawn from the start position to the end position. The first obstacle it hits will then be used as the new end position.
  • Nothing
  
  
  • Walls
  
  
  • Walls & Glass
  
  
  • Walls & Monsters
  
  
  • Walls, Monsters & Glass
  
  

calc_velocity_polar: Calculate velocity

• targetname: Name
• netname: Based on velocity [LV]
• angles: Rotated by angle (Y Z X)
  Rotate the velocity by this amount.
• noise: Length factor [LR]
  Scale the velocity by this factor.
  E.g: 2.0 will specify "twice as fast/twice as far", and 0.5 will specify "half as fast/half as far".
• message: Add offset [LV]
  After rotation and scaling, add this offset to the velocity.
• spawnflags:
  • Normalize
  
  
  The "length factor" field will set the exact length of the velocity, instead of scaling it by a factor.

env_customize: Change entity properties

This can be used in two main ways- to change the appearance of monsters,
or to manually switch the switchable textures on a brush entity.

• targetname: Name
  Leave this blank to have it take effect as soon as the level starts.
• target: Target to affect [LE]
  You can also specify a classname here, e.g. monster_barney.
• m_flRadius: Search Radius
  If the target is a classname, the game picks a random monster of that type from within this search radius. This has no effect if the target is anything except a classname.
• body: Set body
  Player: 0 = gordon's head, 1 = helmeted.
  Gina, Gordon, Helmet and Scientist player models: 0 = original design, 1 = updated (better looking) version.
  Barneys: 0 = holstered gun, 1 = holding gun, 2 = missing gun.
  Scientists: 0-3 = no syringe, 4-7 = syringe in hand. 4 different heads in each set. (0 = Glasses, 1 = Einstein, 2 = Luther, 3 = Slick)
  Human Grunts: 0-3 = Mp5, 4-7 = Shotgun, 8-11 = No gun. 4 different heads in each set. (0 = Gasmask, 1 = Beret, 2 = Skimask, 3 = Cigar)
  Note that this entity can only change their appearance- for example, grunts who had shotguns will still fire shotgun rounds.
  • No change
  
  
• skin: Set skin
  Scientists and Human Grunts: 1 = black skin.
  Bullsquids, Houndeyes, Slaves: 1 = eyes shut.
  Ichthyosaur: 0-4 = different eye positions.
  Most brush-entities (e.g. a func_wall): 1 = alternate textures. (+A textures instead of +0).

  • Skin 0 (normal)
  
  
  • Skin 1
  
  
  • Skin 2
  
  
  • Skin 3
  
  
• m_iszModel: Set model (e.g. models/can.mdl)
  Use this setting with caution - a lot of a monster's behaviour is determined by its model. (You should be safe if the new model is just a set of different textures.)
• m_bloodColor: Blood Color
  • No change
  
  
  • Don't Bleed
  
  
  • Red (Human)
  
  
  • Yellow (Alien)
  
  
• m_voicePitch: Voice Pitch (100 = normal)
  Change the pitch of the monster's voice (100 = normal pitch, higher numbers = higher pitch)
  • No change
  
  
• m_fFramerate: Frame rate (-1 = no change)
  >1 = fast
  1 = normal speed
  0..1 = slow
  0 = stop
  -1 = no change

  Sets:
  agrunt.mdl: head position (45..-45)

  • Scientist
  
  
  Likes players and barneys; hates Human Military and most aliens; scared of Alien Military and Bullsquids.
  • Barney
  
  
  Likes players and scientists; dislikes Machines, Human Military, and all aliens.
  • Human Military
  
  
  Dislikes scientists and most aliens. Hates players, barneys and Alien Military.
  • Machine (Human Military)
  
  
  Machines go clang when hit, and never gib. Bioweapons (Snarks and Hornets) ignore them. Otherwise, they're pretty much like Human Military.
  • Alien Military
  
  
  Hates players and Human Military. Dislikes Machines, scientists and barneys.
  • Other Alien
  
  
  Dislikes Machines and all humans.
  • Headcrab
  
  
  Dislikes all humans. Scared of Bullsquids.
  • Bullsquid
  
  
  Hates Headcrabs. Dislikes humans and other Bullsquids.
  • Faction A
  
  
  Dislikes everyone, except other Faction A members.
  • Faction B
  
  
  Dislikes everyone, except other Faction B members.
  • Faction C
  
  
  Dislikes everyone, except other Faction C members.
• m_iPlayerReact: Reaction to player
  Replaces the old "Player Ally" flag.
  • No Change
  
  
  • Normal
  
  
  That is, normal for the monster's current behaviour.
  • Ignore
  
  
  • Friendly until hurt
  
  
  Scientists usually use this behaviour. The monster will stop being friendly when hurt by the player, regardless of how. (e.g. even if they stupidly ran into the middle of a firefight.)
  • Friendly unless provoked
  
  
  Barneys usually use this behaviour. The monster will stop being friendly when shot deliberately by the player, but not when (for instance) caught in grenade explosions, or in the middle of combat.

env_dlight: Dynamic light effect
Creates a temporary ball of light when triggered.
Note that this primarily lights the world (i.e. brushes); studio models will pick up the lighting if they're standing in it, but they'll just be a solid colour.
To just light studio models, see

env_rain: Rain Effect
Essentially, this produces a shifting group of parallel beams. I've called it env_rain because that's the most-requested use for it.
For a sunbeam effect, try Drip Speed = 0, Drip Width = 30, Drip Brightness = 25, Drip Color = 255 255 255, Time between updates = 0, Drip Sprite = sprites/laserbeam.spr.
For snow, try Drip Speed = 20, Drip Width = 20, Drip Color = 255 255 255, Drip Sprite = sprites/rain.spr.

• targetname: Name
• movewith: Moves with
  
• angles: Pitch Yaw Roll (Y Z X)
  Set this to (for example) "70 0 0" to make slanted rain.
• m_dripSpeed: Drip Speed
  Negative numbers will make the rain fall upwards. This is an average; each drip will move at between 75%-125% of this speed.
• m_dripSize: Drip Width
• m_brightness: Drip Brightness (1 - 255)
• rendercolor: Drip Color (R G B)
• m_iNoise: Beam noise (distortion)
• m_burstSize: Number of drips per update
• m_flUpdateTime: Time between updates
  If 0, no updates; all the beams will appear as soon as it's activated.
• m_flMaxUpdateTime: Max time between updates (random)
• target: Fire on updating
• m_fLifeTime: Beam Lifetime (0 = three updates)

env_footsteps: Change Movement Sounds
To set the player's footstep sounds, trigger this entity 'on'. To revert to normal, trigger it 'off' in the same way.
Alternatively, you can just toggle it, to alternately set and unset the sounds.
If one of the sound fields is left blank, it will have no effect... so if you actually want it to become silent, choose common/null.wav.
This entity is probably most useful as the "fire on/off" target of a trigger_inout, to specify the area over which the footsteps are to be changed.

• noise: Custom Footstep sound
  Here, you can either specify a single sound file as normal, or else specify a group of 4 sounds by inserting '?' instead of the number 1-4. (for example, to play a random sound in the range player/pl_step1.wav to player/pl_step4.wav, you would write 'player/pl_step?.wav'.)

  A strange field of red particles.
  • Teleport Splash
  
  
  A smallish mass of white particles.
  (As seen in Quake when a player spawns or teleports.)
  • Explosion
  
  
  A burst of yellowy-white particles, with explosion sound effect.
  (As seen in Quake when a grenade or rocket goes off.)
  • Particle Burst
  
  
  An expanding cube of particles. Quite pretty.

  If you set this, the affected entity (or entities) will fade progressively to the new settings you specify. Only Renderamt and rendercolor will fade; the other values will change instantly, as usual.
• armorvalue: Fade Coarseness (secs)
  The frequency at which the fade gets updated. If left blank (or set to 0), it updates as fast as possible.
  You probably won't need to set this unless you actually want it to look coarse.
  If a lot of entities are fading at the same time, and you find the game is slowing down, you may want to try setting this to 0.2 or so.

• m_iszTouch: Fire on collision (locus = shot)
  If you need access to both the entities involved in a collision, try targetting a locus_alias with this field. Then, target the effect you actually want with the "locus = wall" field, and you'll be able to refer to the shot via the alias.
  NB: This field does not work with the "gib" behaviours - use "noclip" or below.
• m_iszTouchOther: Fire on collision (locus = wall)
  This won't be fired when the shot hits a wall that's not tied to an entity. (But a func_wall works fine.)
  NB: This field does not work with the "gib" behaviours - use "noclip" or below.

  This entity will be triggered On when the env_state turns on, and Off when it turns off.
• noise1: Fire on turning on
• noise2: Fire on turning off
• turnontime: Time taken to turn on
  If the env_state gets turned off before it finishes turning on, the "fire on turning on" target will never get triggered. This is very useful for setting up "if you stay in this area for 5 seconds" type triggers.
• turnofftime: Time taken to turn off
• spawnflags:
  • Start On

• globalname: Global Entity Name
• angles: Pitch Yaw Roll (Y Z X)
  This sets the initial orientation of the entity, but that could be achieved by simply rotating the brushes, in Worldcraft.
  More importantly, it will change the position of the axes the entity pivots around.
• speed: Rotation Speed
• axes: Axis Multipliers (Y Z X)
  This field overrides the "X Axis" and "Y Axis" flags. It's mostly useful to make a complex orbit for an object. (If you just want to have a tilted axis for an otherwise normal rotating object, you'll want to change the "angle" field instead.)
  For example, set this field to "0 12 1" and the Z axis will rotate 12 times in the time it takes the X axis to complete one turn. (the entity will also turn 12 times faster than the Rotation Speed you specify.)
  NB: The way the quake engine handles rotation is not exactly intuitive. The Z axis is the primary axis, so rotation around the Y and X axes will be affected by the current Z position. Similarly, the Y axis is the secondary axis, so rotation around the X axis will be affected by the current Y position.
  To get a feel for how this works, try making a func_rotating cube whose origin is at one corner, set its "axes" value to "1 1 0", and watch how it moves. One edge will simply go around in a horizontal circle, while the rest of the cube rotates around that edge.

info_alias: Alias

An alias makes itself an "alternative name" for an entity. To refer to an entity through the alternative name, use the alias name preceeded by a *.

  If you refer to a group member which hasn't been defined explicitly, but you do define a default prefix here, then the member name will be added to the prefix to generate an appropriate reference.
  e.g: Suppose an info_group named "bob" defines a default prefix "bobs_". Now; if you refer to, for example, "bob.house" or "bob.gun", you'll actually affect entities named "bobs_house" and "bobs_gun", respectively.

locus_variable: Locus System - Variable for storing data

As the name suggests, this acts like a variable in a programming language. It stores three values - a position, a velocity, and a ratio. (if you want to store entity variables, see locus_alias). To set values, trigger the entity; and to access them, just refer to it like a calc_x entity.
locus_variable can also be used another way; if you give a "Child's Name" value, triggering it will create a reference point with that name. So for example, suppose you want to create streams of water wherever an object gets shot. You trigger a locus_variable to record where the shot hits, and then have its "fire on spawn" value triggering the water stream. But if you don't have it make seperate reference points, then all the water will come out of the last shot position.
