Entity description

A test chamber progress sign. It is identical in look to vgui_screen's sp_progress_screen but is configured directly through entity keyvalues instead of scripts/vscript/transitions/lightboard_startup_sequences.nut. This means that mappers can place multiple different signs in the same map. It can be used for mods and workshop maps respectively.

Bug:The display on the testchamber sign will often appear too dark as compared to a traditional vgui testchamber sign. This bug has had multiple attempts to be fixed but the developers of Portal 2: Community Edition do not yet understand why this is the case.  (tested in: , )
