env_wind is a point entity available in all 
Source games. It creates wind throughout an entire map, which affect physics props, swaying trees, and dust.

- Min normal speed (minwind) <integer>
- Minimum speed of the wind while idling.
- Max normal speed (maxwind) <integer>
- Maximum speed of the wind while idling.
- Min gust speed (mingust) <integer>
- Minimum speed of wind gusts.
- Max gust speed (maxgust) <integer>
- Maximum speed of wind gusts.
- Min gust delay (mingustdelay) <integer>
- Minimum time delay between random gusts.

- How long will the wind gust for.
- Max gust dir change (degrees) (gustdirchange) <integer>
- Maximum amount that the wind's direction changes due to a gust.
- Radius (windradius) <float> (only in )
- The radius this entity applies wind effects to. -1 for global effect.
Inputs
- Enable (only in
) - Turns the wind on.
- Disable (only in )
- Turns the wind off.
Outputs
- OnGustStart
- !activator = !caller = NULL
Fired when a wind gust begins. - Bug:env_wind gusts can seemingly pile up and fire this output multiple times when a player first loads into a multiplayer map.
Workaround:Use AddOutput to add OnGustStart effects when players are already connectedTodo: Needs more testing, only observed in[todo tested in ?]
- OnGustEnd
- !activator = !caller = NULL
Fired when a wind gust ends.
