env_soundscape_proxy is a point entity available in all Source games. It plays a soundscape with the properties set by an env_soundscape or env_soundscape_triggerable. This is convenient for soundscapes that can be triggered through many possible entrances/exits as it prevents the mapper from having to synchronize settings for many individual entities.

Important:This is a preserved entity in .

• On a new round entities with this classname will intentionally not reset. You can use logic_auto to emulate resetting it.
• Killing it removes it forever, as it is not respawned on a new round.
• It cannot be spawned with a point_template.
• Parenting this with non preserved entities may have undesirable effects.
