Similar to func_rotating, this entity simulates a pendulum, using the center of an origin brush tied to it as rotation point.

== Keyvalues ==

{{Entity_keyvalue|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.}}
{{Entity_keyvalue|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.}}
{{Entity_keyvalue|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.}}
{{Entity_keyvalue|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 ==

{{Entity_flag|1|Start ON|Entity is enabled on start. If "Damping" is specified, it will gradually decelerates at map start.}}
{{Entity_flag|8|Passable|Disables collision of func_pendulum.}}
{{Entity_flag|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.}}
{{Entity_flag|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.}}
{{Entity_flag|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.}}

== Issues ==

Triggering func_pendulum without "Auto Return" flag may break it's rotation range.Func_pendulum is a little glitchy. Move distance might be increased, decreased or relocated by unknown reasons.Func_pendulum won't react to frequent triggering properly. It might stay in whatever state it is when triggered consecutively.
