'''NOTE:''' When placing entities in your map, remember to account for 1 unit spacing around the entity; because the engine checks for collision in a >= way (as opposed to >). E.g. Monsters have to be at least 1 unit away from walls to avoid getting stuck and have to be on platforms at least 2 units wider to avoid falling off.  Also, narrow pathways will be very difficult for monsters to move into because the checks (for movement) are done in discreet steps.

The Entity Guide is currently the focus of a Quake Wiki project. See more information (including style guidelines) on the Entity Doc Project page.

Note from the old wiki: Here is a good site to grab the info to fill these pages with: http://web.archive.org/web/20040607020324/http://www.annihilator.com/gameediting/quake/editing/editing_lvlentities.html

  • I did not say this, above link and test is from the original wiki. Do NOT copy and paste from non-free licensed sources. Spirit (talk)

This is a list of all the entities in standard (vanilla) Quake. For information on entities used in specific mods, please see the relevant mod page.

NOTE: When placing entities in your map, remember to account for 1 unit spacing around the entity; because the engine checks for collision in a >= way (as opposed to >). E.g. Monsters have to be at least 1 unit away from walls to avoid getting stuck and have to be on platforms at least 2 units wider to avoid falling off. Also, narrow pathways will be very difficult for monsters to move into because the checks (for movement) are done in discreet steps.
