Code classes:

CRagdollProp is a code class in all Source games.

Warning: This entity creates server-side ragdolls, which can create a lot of network traffic. Use them carefully in multiplayer games.

Classnames:

  • prop_ragdoll - An entity capable of physically simulating jointed objects, such as a body. Unlike ragdolls created by players or NPCs dying, these have full collision.
  • physics_prop_ragdoll (Not in FGD) - Older classname. No reason to use it.

Bug: Setting Model Scale to anything other than 1 will cause the game to crash upon loading the map.

Note: Will not go through P1.pngP2.pngportals. They may rarely be tricked into going partway though, and then disappear.

Flags[edit | edit source]

  • 4: Debris - Don't collide with the player or other debris.
  • 16384: Motion Disabled - Ragdoll starts with motion disabled.
  • 32768: Allow stretch - To do: Description.
  • 65536: Start Asleep - Don't move until a force acts on the ragdoll.

Keyvalues[edit | edit source]

Override Animation (angleOverride) <string>
Makes each joint on the ragdoll spawn in a particular position. This is automatically filled in by hammer_update_entity. Don't edit manually except for clearing it out.
Start Disabled (StartDisabled) <boolean>
Makes the model start invisible (but still solid).
Minimum DX Level (mindxlevel) to Maximum DX Level (maxdxlevel) <choices> (only available in games before Left 4 Dead)
Very outdated settings. Their functionality seems to no longer be fully intact. Nearly all players will be at the highest setting anyway because DirectX 8 has been obsolete since 2002. This is still in the FGD for Alien Swarm, but it doesn't use it.
Minimum CPU Level (mincpulevel) to Maximum CPU Level (maxcpulevel) <choices> (available in all games since L4d.png)
A user with the "effect detail" setting not in this specific range will not see this object.
  • 0: Default
  • 1: Low
  • 2: Medium
  • 3: High
Minimum GPU Level (mingpulevel) to Maximum GPU Level (maxgpulevel) <choices> (available in all games since L4d.png)
A user with the "shader detail" setting not in this specific range will not see this object. Settings are named differently in different games.
  • 0: Default
  • 1: Very low or Low
  • 2: Low or Medium
  • 3: Medium or High
  • 4: High or Very High
