env_starfield is a point entity available in Half-Life 2 series. This creates the starfield effect used in the d1_trainstation_01 intro for Half-Life 2.

Note:This is not the entity used in the c5a1 outro in Half-Life. That is a system of 42 func_trains.

Bug:Due to how the star trails are coded, their direction of travel will look inconsistent if the player looks around.  [todo tested in?]

Bug:If the player pauses the game, the number of star trails spawned will pile up over time, creating a sort of "burst" effect when unpaused.  [todo tested in?]

Note:This entity is also in the code for . Its functionality is not guaranteed.
