BaseTrain:

SetSpeed <float>

Set the speed of the train, as a ratio of max speed [0, 1]

SetSpeedDir <float>

Set the speed of the train, as a ratio of max speed. Negative values reverse the direction [-1, 1]

SetSpeedReal <float>

Set the speed of the train. Must be a positive value from 0 to max speed.

SetSpeedDirAccel <float> (not in )

Accel/Decel to the specified speed, as a ratio of max speed. Negative values reverse the direction [-1, 1]

SetSpeedForwardModifier <float> (removed since )

Applies the given modifier to all forward speeds. [0, 1]

TeleportToPathTrack <targetname> (removed since )

Teleport the train to the designated path track. This can be in a new path.

Note:The above three inputs appear to have been added to Source 2007 games post-release for TF2's Payload mode, but did not make it into later games, resulting in their apparent "removal". However, SetSpeedDirAccel did later get ported in Left 4 Dead 2.

MoveToPathNode <targetname> (in all games since )

Move the train to a specific path_track, stopping when it gets there. Must be in the same path.

TeleportToPathNode <targetname> (in all games since )

Teleport to another path_track and stop the train. This can be in a new path.

LockOrientation  (in all games since )

Lock the current orientation of the train.

UnlockOrientation  (in all games since )

Unlock the current orientation of the train.

SetMaxSpeed <float> (in all games since )

Set a new max speed for the train.

Stop

Stop the train.

StartForward

Start the train moving forward.

StartBackward

Start the train moving backward.

Bug:If the train's corresponding path_tracks do not have "New Train Speed" set to a nonzero number, StartBackward will exhibit undesired behavior including the train freezing or moving in the wrong direction. This bug can be a pain if the train needs to ride through the path_track again at a different speed. This can be fixed by firing an "addOutput speed '#'" input at the path_track in question.  [todo tested in ?]

Resume

Resume the train moving in the current direction after it was stopped via the Stop or Toggle input.

Reverse

Reverse the direction of the train.

Toggle

Toggle the train between start and stop.

SetDamageFilter <targetname>

Sets a filter for this entity for when it receives damage.

EnableDamageForces

Allows the entity to be pushed by damage done to it (usually force amount correlates with the damage done).

DisableDamageForces

Prevents the entity from being pushed by damage done to it.

Todo: move/mention at proper place
