Func train

This entity is not in the FGD by default.
See below for instructions on making it available.

Template:HL series point It is a used leftover from Quake that ping-pongs between the start and end of its path. In GoldSrc, it is primarily used for looping auto-scrolling backgrounds. In Source, it has been superseded in usability with the introduction of parenting, rendering it obsolete but still functional.
