env_spritetrail is a point entity available in all Source Source games.

It frequently emits a sprite, intended to create a trail effect when moving.

In code, it is represented by theCSpriteTrailclass, defined in theSpriteTrail.cppfile.


Todo: Add applicable properties from env_sprite. Not all work, such as scale, and the alpha input appears to be a boolean, rendering it invisible for values less than 1.
