Env soundscape

Template:Base point It changes the active soundscape of players, and defines where positioned sounds within it play from.

A player must be within the entity's radius and be able to see it for the change to take place. The entity's soundscape will then play until another one takes over. If more than one soundscape entity is fighting for control, the nearest wins.

env_soundscape_triggerable is a related entity identical to env_soundscape, but for use in conjunction with the brush entity trigger_soundscape.

Tip:In some mods such as TF2, soundscapes cannot be "seen" through water, in which case a triggerable soundscape is a useful workaround.

Specifies a movement parent. An entity will maintain its initial offset from its parent. An attachment point can be added to the end of the name, separated by a comma.
