Template:L4d series point This class is the same as prop_physics, but with special outputs used specifically for a car alarm, to be used with prop_car_glass for its glass.
This entity can sense people firing their weapons next to it and has outputs for that event. It will call a panic event the moment it's assigned model is touched or damaged, but then it will stop functioning like a car alarm and will effectively just be a prop_physics
In 
Left 4 Dead 2 there is a Prefab of this car, to be used as func_instance in "Left 4 Dead 2\sdk_content\mapsrc\instance\prop_car_alarm.vmf"
Note:The Enable/Disable inputs will disable or enable the ability to trigger alarms. However, the prop_car_glass entity that goes along with this car will not be affected by this and needs to be disabled separately, by swapping it with a generic prop_dynamic using default glass version for this car, which does not blink.Tip:By default the alarm sounds for about 30 seconds, then fires the OnCarAlarmEnd Output. You can make this time longer by instead using an OnCarAlarmStart output which fires a relay after X amount of seconds, which will then fire whatever outputs OnCarAlarmEnd was firing.Keyvalues
