AltNames: This entity is also tied to env_material_timer.

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. See also: Generic Keyvalues, Inputs and Outputs available to all entities

Note:Both takes a float value in original FGD. In the game itself both don't take any value.

Bug:Also fires when countdown finished.
