Valve's use of the entity doesn't make it any less obsolete. The entity description even says it's obsolete. The entity exists solely for legacy/backwards support and func_brush is preferred; therefore it is obsolete. --[[User:Stract|Stract]] ([[User talk:Stract|talk]]) 15:51, 14 July 2018 (UTC)

Re-Added in Left 4 Dead

This brush entity was re-added in Left 4 Dead for things such as infected barriers. Just wanted to say that once the Authoring Tools is out this should be updated.

Legacy support, yet used in Episode Two?

I'm not sure I understand why it was still being used in Episode Two. Old habits, maybe? I found several instances where the func_illusionary was used to create ambient light inside buildings. —Mattshu 00:09, 27 July 2012 (PDT)

Func_illusionary is a very cheap entity compared to func_brush; they might simply be using entities in a memory-efficient way. Solokiller 06:37, 27 July 2012 (PDT)

This is obsolete

Valve's use of the entity doesn't make it any less obsolete. The entity description even says it's obsolete. The entity exists solely for legacy/backwards support and func_brush is preferred; therefore it is obsolete. --Stract (talk) 15:51, 14 July 2018 (UTC)
