The Xen Trampoline in bm_c2a5g.

env_xen_pushpad is a model entity available in Black Mesa. This is Xen Trampoline, the Xen flora that propelling anything who steps onto it into the air. The game uses it as a jump pad that allows the player to jump high. Works with player and physics objects.

AltNames: In Black Mesa (mod), this entity is also tied to prop_xen_pushpad.

Bug:Doesn't work for players in multiplayer until they jump.

Bug:It completely ignore any type of NPC, they just go throught this entity. Probably was never implemented on purpose due to possible problems with NPCs navigation.

Confirm:You can workaround it with other entities.

Bug:The model of this entity sometimes disappear in multiplayer for some clients. Fixes sometimes after respawn.

Todo: Find out how to reproduce this bug.

Workaround:You can workaround, disable entity render via Don't Render value for Render Mode property, add prop_dynamic with disabled collision and add some logic for the idle and jump animations.

Note:This entity never solid due to many reasons, just don't care about this issue. Don't try to use combinations with prop_dynamic, it will be unstable.

Note:For unknown reasons, the impact on ragdolls is extremely weak compared to normal physical objects.
