Env portal path track

Entity description

It is used to build paths for other entities to follow. Each path_track is a node on the path, each holding the name of the next path_track in the path.

Keyvalues

Scale Track FX ([todo internal name (i)]) <float>

The amount to scale the track FX size

Scale Endpoint FX ([todo internal name (i)]) <float>

The amount to scale the endpoint FX size.

Fade Out Endpoint ([todo internal name (i)]) <float>

Amount of time to fade out the endpoint FX

Fade In Endpoint ([todo internal name (i)]) <float>

Amount of time to fade in the endpoint FX

Next Stop Target ([todo internal name (i)]) <targetname>

The next path_track in the path.

Branch Path ([todo internal name (i)]) <targetname>

An alternative path_track to be the next node in the path. Useful for making branching paths. Use the ToggleAlternatePath / EnableAlternatePath inputs to make the alternative path active.

New Train Speed ([todo internal name (i)]) <float>

When the train reaches this path_track, it will set its speed to this speed. This speed must be a positive value that is less than the train's max speed. A value of 0 will cause no change in the train's speed.

Path radius ([todo internal name (i)]) <float>

Used by NPCs who follow track paths (attack chopper/gunship). This tells them the maximum distance they're allowed to be from the path at this node.

Orientation Type ([todo internal name (i)]) <choices>

The way that the path follower faces as it moves through this path track.

• 0 : No change
• 1 : Face direction of motion
• 2 : Face this path_track's angles

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.

Parentname:

Parent (parentname) <targetname>

Specifies a movement parent. An entity will maintain its initial offset from its parent. An attachment point can be added to the end of the name, separated by a comma.

Pitch Yaw Roll (Y Z X) (angles) <QAngle>

This entity's orientation in the world. Pitch is rotation around the Y axis, yaw is the rotation around the Z axis, roll is the rotation around the X axis.

Flags

• 1 : Disabled
• 2 : Fire once
• 4 : Branch Reverse
• 8 : Disable train
• 16 : Teleport to THIS path track

Inputs

ToggleAlternatePath

Cause the track to toggle to/from its alternate path.

EnableAlternatePath

Enable the alternate path of the track.

DisableAlternatePath

Disable the alternate path of the track.

TogglePath

Cause the track to toggle on/off/

EnablePath

Enable the track.

DisablePath

Disable the track.

ActivateTrackFX

Turn on the track's fx beam

ActivateEndPointFX

Turn on the endpoint's fx

DeactivateTrackFX

Turn off the track's fx beam

DeactivateEndPointFX

Turn off the endpoint's fx

Parentname:

SetParent <stringRedirectInput/string>

Move with this entity. See Entity Hierarchy (parenting).

SetParentAttachment <stringRedirectInput/string>

Change this entity to attach to a specific attachment point on its parent. The entity will teleport so that the position of its root bone matches that of the attachment. Entities must be parented before being sent this input.

SetParentAttachmentMaintainOffset <stringRedirectInput/string>

As above, but without teleporting. The entity retains its position relative to the attachment at the time of the input being received.

ClearParent

Removes this entity from the the movement hierarchy, leaving it free to move independently.

Outputs

OnPass

Fired when any entity following this path passes this path_track node.
