env_credits is a logical entity available in all Source games. This entity is used to control the rolling credits. The text that will be displayed is determined inside the file credits.txt.

Bug:While implemented in all games, this entity only functions in the Half-Life 2 series (and derived mods), Portal, and Black Mesa. In other games nothing will be displayed due to CHudCredits not being compiled into the client DLL, or the game may crash from an undefined CreditsMsg user message.  (tested in: )

Note:Some other games have different entities for credits:

• For the Portal series musical credits, use env_portal_credits.
• For the Left 4 Dead series campaign "credits", use env_outtro_stats.

Keyvalues

Name (targetname) <string>

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.
