Env soundscape triggerable

Entity Description

A point entity that works like the env_soundscape entity except that it works in conjunction with the trigger_soundscape entity to determine when a player hears it. In some mods such as TF2, soundscapes cannot be "seen" through water, in which case a triggerable soundscape is useful workaround.

Note:This entity has the same keyvalues, (non-existant) flags, inputs, and outputs as env_soundscape.

Keyvalues

Name (targetname) <string>[ Edit ]

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.
