weapon_custom_effect

This entity can create a wide variety of explosions and impact effects. All effects are implemented as unreliable temporary entities, so there's no risk of going overboard and crashing the server. Effects can be chained together to create more satisfying blasts.

Keyvalues:

Keyvalue Value Type	Description
_____________________________
Name string	Name of the entity. Use this for keyvalues of type weapon_custom_effect.
Delay float	Time before detonation and triggering of the next effect (if one is set).
Next Effect weapon_custom_effect	Effect to trigger after the Delay of this effect.
Decal integer	Decal to apply to the nearest surface. If there are no surfaces within 32 units of the effect, then no decal is applied.
Sounds List of weapon_custom_sounds	Sounds to play when this effect is activated. Chosen randomly.
Blood Stream Power integer	Speed of the bloodstream. 0 disables the effect. See TE_BLOODSTREAM for a demonstration.

Explosion Sprite string	Sprite used to texture the explosion.
Explosion Sprite Scale float	Size of the explosion sprite. Has no effect if Explosion Style is not set to Sprite (+ particles)
Explosion Sprite FPS float	Frame rate of the explosion sprite. Has no effect if Explosion Style is not set to Sprite (+ particles)
Explosion Water Sprite string	Sprite to display when the effect spawns in water (optional).
Explosion Smoke Sprite string	Sprite to display using the TE_SMOKE effect. Plays in addition to the primary explosion sprite.
Explosion Smoke Scale float	Size of the explosion smoke sprite.
Explosion Smoke FPS float	Frame rate of the explosion smoke sprite.
Explosion Smoke Delay float	Time to wait before spawning the smoke effect, after the explosion has started.
Explosion Beam Radius float	Radius of the beam for beam-type explosions.
Explosion Beam Width integer	Width of the beam for beam-type explosions.
Explosion Beam Life integer	Life time of the beam for beam-type explosions.
Explosion Beam Noise integer	Distortion of the beam for beam-type explosions.
Explosion Beam Color integer	Color and opacity of the beam for beam-type explosions.
Explosion Beam Sprite Frame integer	Sprite frame to display as the texture of the beam for beam-type explosions.
Bubble Count integer	Amount of bubbles to spawn when under water.
Bubble Mins Vector	Minimum coordinates for the box that bubbles spawn from.
Bubble Maxs Vector	Maximum coordinates for the box that bubbles spawn from.
Bubble Delay float	Time to wait before spawning bubbles, after the explosion has started.
Bubble Speed float	Movement speed of the bubbles.
Bubble Custom Sprite string	Sprite to display for bubbles (optional).
Dynamic Light 1 Color Color	Color of the first dynamic light.
Dynamic Light 1 Adv. 3 floats	Radius, Life time (seconds*0.1), and rate of decay of the first dynamic light.
Dynamic Light 2 Color Color	Color of the second dynamic light.
Dynamic Light 2 Adv. 3 floats	Radius, Life time (seconds*0.1), and rate of decay of the second dynamic light.
Gibs integer	Number of gibs to spawn. Gibs are shot out in the opposite direction of the impact surface.
Gib Speed integer	Initial speed of each gib.
Gib Randomness integer	Amount to randomize the speed and direction of each gib.
Gib Model/Sprite string	Model or sprite to use for gibs. When using a model, a random body is selected for each gib.
Gib Material integer	Bounce sounds for the gibs. This works the same as with func_breakable. Choosing Glass will cause the models to render at 50% opacity.
Gib Effects integer	Adds smoke trails or transparency to gibs.
Particle Count integer	Number of sprite-based particles to spawn. Particles are shot out in the opposite direction of the impact surface.
Particle Sprite string	Sprite used to display particles.
Particle Scale integer	Size of the particles.
Particle Speed integer	Initial speed of the particles.
Tracers integer	Number of tracers to spawn. Tracers are shot out in the opposite direction of the impact surface. See TE_STREAK_SPLASH for an example.
Tracer Color integer	Color of the tracers. This is an index into an Engine-defined palette.
Tracer Speed integer	Initial speed of the tracers.
Tracer Randomness float	Amount to randomize the speed and direction of each tracer.
Glow Sprite string	Sprite to spawn using the TE_GLOWSPRITE effect.
Glow Sprite Scale integer	Size of the glow sprite (scale = value*0.1).
Glow Sprite Life string	Time to wait before the glow sprite fades out (seconds*0.1).
Glow Sprite Opacity integer	Initial opacity of the glow sprite.
Spray Count integer	Number of spray sprites to spawn. These sprites are shot out in the opposite direction of the impact surface. See TE_SPRITE_SPRAY for an example.
Spray Sprite string	Sprite to display for the spray effect.
Spray Speed integer	Initial speed of the sprayed sprites.
Spray Randomness integer	Amount to randomize speed and direction of each sprayed sprite.
Particle Burst Duration integer	Speed and life time of the particle burst effect (Quake Particle Burst).
Particle Burst Radius integer	Size of the particle burst effect.
Particle Burst Color Index integer	Color of the particle burst effect. This is an index into an Engine-defined palette.
Implosion Tracer Count integer	Number of tracers to spawn for the TE_IMPOSION effect.
Implosion Radius integer	Size of the implosion effect.
Implosion Duration integer	Speed of the implosion effect. This also affects the length of each tracer.
Shake Radius float	Players within this distance will have their screens shaked. 0 disables the effect.
Shake Amplitude float	Power of the screen shake effect.
Shake Frequency float	Speed of the screen shake effect.
Shake Duration float	Duration of the screen shake effect.
