sceneentity.cpp

Template:Entity It manages a choreographed scene of one or more actors. For an example on how this entity can be used, see the npc_gman_overwatch prefab.

Bug:In multiplayer, the actor must be within a player's PVS in order for lines to be heard. This does not apply in Portal 2 .

Todo: Are there any other games where it works? Any way to force it to get sent?
