info_overlay_transition

The "Wave" effect from the info_overlay_transition.

info_overlay_transition is an internal point 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.

Bug:Not rendered in Hammer++.

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.
