point_velocitysensor is a point entity available in all Source games except Left 4 Dead 2. It detects and outputs an entity's velocity.

Name (targetname) <string>[ Edit ]: The name that other entities refer to this entity by, via Inputs/Outputs or other keyvalues (e.g. parentname or target).
Also displayed in Hammer's 2D views and Entity Report. See also: Generic Keyvalues, Inputs and Outputs available to all entities

Target Entity Name (target) <targetname>: Name of the entity whose velocity will be sensed.

Measurement Axis (axis) <vector>: Defines a vector originating from the entity. If the measured entity moves at speed x in exactly this direction, the point_velocitysensor will output x in it's Velocity output. The magnitude of this vector is irrelevant to the calculation.

Start Enabled (enabled) <boolean>: Whether or not to start enabled and active.

Velocity <floatRedirectOutput/float>: Fired when the Target's Velocity changes, passing the new velocity. This may be a negative number.
