trigger_asw_door_area
...
trigger_asw_door_area
is a brush entity available in Alien Swarm. It is used to detect marines and aliens near doors.
Bug:This entity seems to be unstable if used both as an actual door trigger - i.e. with a door indicated in its "Use Target" entry - and as a normal trigger - i.e. when firing additional "non-door" outputs. Furthermore its "Start Disabled" key value does not seem to work - i.e. it seems to always be enabled, even when its "Start Disabled" key value is set to "yes". One workaround, if you want a trigger_asw_door_area to be "disabled", is to insert it above or below the place you want it (out of the way) in an enabled state, parent it to an invisible, passable func_door, then have a normal trigger or other event open this func_door and move the enabled trigger_asw_door_area quickly into position. Make sure this func_door is set to open very quickly, and to not close again.
