An env_portal_path_track beam (top) versus the final effects (bottom)

Template:Portal series point It is an unfinished variant of path_track which produces a visible light rail along the path. It was presumably meant for the Unstationary Scaffold, but the final game uses regular path_tracks and env_beams for this.

Icon-Bug.pngBug:A func_tracktrain cannot start at an env_portal_path_track. It can still follow them as long as the starting node is a regular path_track.  [todo tested in ?]
Icon-Bug.pngBug:Copying an env_portal_path_track in Hammer will not automatically rename it or link the previous node.  [todo tested in ?]

Keyvalues

Scale Track FX ([todo internal name (i)]) <float>
The amount to scale the track FX size
Icon-Bug.pngBug:Appears non-functional  [todo tested in ?]
Scale Endpoint FX ([todo internal name (i)]) <float>
The amount to scale the endpoint FX size.
Icon-Bug.pngBug:Appears non-functional  [todo tested in ?]
Fade Out Endpoint ([todo internal name (i)]) <float>
Amount of time to fade out the endpoint FX
Icon-Bug.pngBug:Appears non-functional  [todo tested in ?]
Fade In Endpoint ([todo internal name (i)]) <float>
Amount of time to fade in the endpoint FX
Icon-Bug.pngBug:Appears non-functional  [todo tested in ?]
Next Stop Target ([todo internal name (i)]) <targetname>
The next node in the path. This can be another env_portal_path_track, or a regular path_track
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


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
Enable the track beam FX
DeactivateTrackFX
Disable the track beam FX
ActivateEndPointFX
Enable the endpoint FX
Icon-Bug.pngBug:Appears non-functional  [todo tested in ?]
DeactivateEndPointFX
Disable the endpoint FX
Icon-Bug.pngBug:Appears non-functional  [todo tested in ?]


Outputs

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