info_overlay_transition

The "Wave" effect from the info_overlay_transition.

info_overlay_transition is an internal logical entity available in all Source games since Source 2006. This entity creates a scrolling texture between a displacement and a water brush, so you can create a "wave" effect.

Unlike regular overlays, overlay transitions cannot modified by env_texturetoggle or material_modify_control.

Note:This is an internal entity. When the map is compiled by VBSP, it is processed and then removed; it does not exist when the map is running.

Keyvalues

Note:These KVs are used by Hammer only; the actual information that VBSP uses to create the overlay is a separate OverlayTransition{} block in the VMF.

Name (targetname) <string>

Name of this entity. Displayed in Hammer's 2D views and Entity Report. No effect in-game, nor in map compilers.

Material (material) <material>

Texture to use with this overlay.

Brush faces (sides) <sidelist>

Brush faces on which the overlay will be applied.

Water faces (sides2) <sidelist>

Water brush faces on which the overlay will be applied.

Texcoord Length Start (LengthTexcoordStart) <float>

Texcoord Length End (LengthTexcoordEnd) <float>

Texcoord Width Start (WidthTexcoordStart) <float>

Texcoord Width End (WidthTexcoordEnd) <float>

Width Land (Width1) <float>

Width of the overlay on displacements from the coastline, in Hammer units.

Width Water (Width2) <float>

Width of the overlay on water from the coastline, in Hammer units.

Show Debug (DebugDraw) <boolean>

If set, visualizes overlay width with helper cubes, as well as coastline angles in Hammer.

• Red Cubes - Width Land
• Blue Cubes - Width Water

Bug:When enabled, it causes models and sprites to render as wireframe when the info_overlay_transition is in the camera view.  (tested in: )
