env_sprite_oriented

env_sprite_oriented is a point entity available in all Source games. It works like env_sprite but is forced to stay in one direction instead of always turning to face the player. The sprite material needs to use $spriteorientation.

Important:This is a preserved entity in.
If the game has round restart mechanics this entity may not behave as expected:

More info

On a new round entities with this classname will intentionally not reset. You can use logic_auto to emulate resetting it. Killing it removes it forever, as it is not respawned on a new round. It cannot be spawned with a point_template. Parenting this with non-preserved entities may have undesirable effects.

Note:The only render modes that render sprite transparency are Glow, Additive, Additive Fractional Frame, World Space Glow and Alpha Add !FGD.

In code, it is represented by theCSpriteOrientedclass, defined in theSprite.cppfile.
