Info overlay

Entity Description

The info_overlay entity is automatically placed when you use the Hammer Overlay Tool. The sides keyvalue is automatically set when placed in this manner. If you need the overlay to span multiple faces, open the overlay's properties in SmartEdit mode, choose Brush Faces and then Ctrl-Click in the camera window to add more faces.

The overlay is a more powerful version of a standard decal: it can be resized, rotated, and scaled. Overlays can also be placed on displacements, where decals can't.
