Template:L4d series brush It is a brush entity that can block nav areas touching its AABB used to restrict NPCs from crossing over nav areas.
Note:The entity will NOT start to block automatically: it must first be activated with the BlockNav input.Note: In l4d2, func_nav_blocker behaves slightly different then in L4D1. To block a nav area, you must use a logic_relay triggered by a logic_auto on map spawn and send an unblocknav input to all func_nav_blockers, then selectively send an input again .5 seconds or so after and block the ones needed. Failure to unblock them before blocking them will produce the error in the console that says "Area # already blocked by a different team id". In l4d2 func_nav_blocker may also ignore your "team(s) to block", and will block both teams if the func_nav_blocker brush resides in a prop_door_rotating , func_physbox and perhaps others entites which may break your flow if you have it set to "Affects Flow: Yes."Keyvalues
- Name (targetname) <string>[ Edit ]
