comp_choreo_sceneset

comp_choreo_sceneset is an internal point entity available in Strata Source and TeamSpen's Hammer Addons.

It chains set of choreography .VCD scenes together, and allows quick but basic configuration of the choreography. When the map is compiled, this entity is then converted into a logic_choreographed_scene entity, with its given KVs / I/O procedurally transferred over.
