Just a list template for FGD and shader parameter templates to easily link to a wide variety of variable types.

Usage

This template accepts one parameter: the name of the variable type. It outputs a specific string depending on this parameter. It is not case-sensitive.

The following table lists inputs, their results, other inputs yielding the same results, and any things to note. Case variations are not included.

This article or section needs to be updated to include current information regarding the subject because:

There have been some changes and additions since this table was made.

Remember to check for any notes left by the tagger at this article's talk page.

Code	Output	Aliases	Notes
{{VT|axis}}	<axis>
{{VT|bool}}	<boolean>	boolean	FGD KV type is (in all games since ) (also in ) Use choices instead in earlier games' FGDs, but note them as Booleans on the game pages themselves.
{{VT|byte}}	<byte>	unsigned char	range 0-255. If the variable uses a regular integer with clamped range, use <integer 0–255> instead.
{{VT|byte choices}}	<byte choices>
{{VT|char}}	<char>		Use for signed chars (-128 to 127)
{{VT|char choices}}	<char choices>
{{VT|choices}}	<choices>		Preferably use version which indicates the actual data type parsed by the code, such as <byte choices>, <integer choices>, or <string choices>.
{{VT|color1}}	<color1>
{{VT|color255}}	<color255>	RGB
{{VT|color255 + int}}	<color255 + int>	color255+int
{{VT|env_cubemap / texture}}	<env_cubemap/texture>	cubemap/texture, cubemap / texture, env cubemap/texture, env cubemap / texture, env_cubemap/texture
{{VT|filter}}	<filter>	filterclass
{{VT|float}}	<float>
{{VT|int}}	<integer>	integer
{{VT|int 0-10}}	<integer 0–10>		For ambient_generic
{{VT|int 0-100}}	<integer 0–100>		For ambient_generic
{{VT|int 0-1000}}	<integer 0–1000>		For ambient_generic
{{VT|integer 0-255}}	<integer 0–255>		For ambient_generic. Not to be confused with <byte>.
{{VT|property}}	<property>	material property	Is a link to Material surface properties.
