func_plat is a brush entity available in all Source games. Similar to func_platrot in function. In multiplayer, the players will appear jerky while riding this. For a modernized entity included in the fgd by default, use func_movelinear

Warning:This entity will set its angles to 0 0 0 upon spawning. This means if this entity is present inside rotated instances, it will not be rotated correctly!
