env_render is a logical entity available in Half-Life: Source. This entity allows you to change the rendering properties of most of the visible entities in the game (monsters, func_walls, etc.), while the map is running. The four render properties of the env_render will be copied to its target, unless disabled with the applicable spawnflag.

Tip:renderamt and rendercolor can be directly assigned with an entity's Alpha and Color inputs, which saves an edict (as env_render is not a server-only entity).

Confirm:AddOutputing may work for renderfx and rendermode.
