FPE Entity Properties Reference Guide

Lee Bamber edited this page Dec 11, 2018 · 3 revisions

Overview

The FPE file contains the entity properties required to describe what the entity does and how it looks within a game level, and controls almost all aspects of a model once the geometry and textures are loaded in. By controlling the entity properties via the FPE file, you can customise an entity to be pretty much anything you want it to be.

FPE Fields

Below are the names of every FPE field, along with a description of its use and any community contributed notes that will help you get the most out of these powerful entity settings.
