Keyvalues

"Speed", speed :

Speed of rotation in a moment of full swing speed. Remember that pendulum smooth it's movement while changing direction. Also the speed is gradually decreased when "Damping" keyvalue is set.

"Distance (deg)", distance :

Distance in which pendulum is swinging (counter clockwise). It rotates around z axis by default (if either "X Axis" and "Y Axis" flags are not selected). Remember that starting position of func_pendulum is not it's rotation center. The pendulum will rotate the whole distance e.g. if it's positioned horizontally, and distance is set to 90, func_pendulum will rotate itself from starting horizontal position to ending vertical position.

"Damping (0-1000)", damp :

If set, the pendulum will slows itself gradually when activated, until it completely stops. Higher values makes pendulum stops quicker. Values like 600, 700 gives only several seconds for pendulum to stop. I you need realistic pendulum deceleration, you should be satisfied with values like 10, 20 or 30. Precise mathematical mechanics behind "Damping" are unknown.

"Damage inflicted when blocked", dmg :

Amount of damage to deal to entities that are blocking it. Only makes sense when "Passable" flag is not selected.

Flags

1: "Start ON": Entity is enabled on start. If "Damping" is specified, it will gradually decelerates at map start.

8: "Passable": Disables collision of func_pendulum.

16: "Auto Return": If selected, the pendulum returns to it's starting position when triggered. By default, it's stops at position where
it has been triggered. Whenever this flag is selected or no, func_pendulum is toggleable entity.

64: "X Axis": If selected, the pendulum will rotate around X axis. Can be combined with "Y Axis". If either this flag and "Y Axis" are not selected, the pendulum rotates around z axis.

128: "Y Axis": If selected, the pendulum will rotate around Y axis. Can be combined with "X Axis". If either this flag and "Y Axis" are not selected, the pendulum rotates around z axis.
