Env wind
Env wind
Todo: The deprecated template {{Base point}}, {{Point ent}} or {{Tf2 point}} (and similar) was used. Use {{Entity}} instead.
env_wind is a point entity available in all 
Source games. It creates wind throughout an entire map.
Note: In some/all multiplayer games, this is a preserved entity.
- On a new round, it will intentionally not reset itself to its default properties (including position).
Workaround: If this is an issue, 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.
Note: Wind direction is determined by env_wind's yaw value. Note: In most games that have $treeSway, this entity is required in order for the materials to simulate wind blowing on them. $treesway does not require env_wind if $treeswaystatic (
only) is used.
Bug: The wind effect in the client game will not change when a new map is loaded which does not contain an env_wind entity.
In code, it is represented by theCEnvWindclass, defined in theeffects.cppfile.Contents
