point_playermoveconstraint

Code classes:

• CPointPlayerMoveConstraint
• CBaseEntity (all ents)

point_playermoveconstraint is a point entity present in all Source games. It contains the player to a sphere by reducing their walking speed. They may still escape the sphere by other means of movement such as jumping, or even simply using walking inertia to their advantage. If you want to use this to keep someone constrained with 100% certainty, you need to also include something else, such as clipping.

Keyvalues

Radius (radius) <float>

How far away the player can go.

Constraint Width (width) <float>

Width of the constraint edge. This is the distance in which to start slowing players down as they approach the edge of the radius.

Speed Factor (speedfactor) <float>

Multiplier applied to the player's walking speed as they approach the radius edge. Note: Even when set to 0, the player can still escape through non-walking means such as jumping or being pushed.

Inputs

TurnOn

Starts constraining the player. Note: The entity automatically turns off if the player escapes the radius.

TurnOff

Stops constraining the player.

Outputs

OnConstraintBroken

Fires when the player escapes the radius.
