Function

  • func_button - Updated to give a target object an edge glow when facing the button and within +use range.
  • func_detail_blocker - When touching a displacement, this entity prevents detail props from being displayed. Useful for creating paths in heavy detailed areas.
  • func_elevator - Used for elevators in Left 4 Dead.
  • func_nav_attribute_region - Possibly sets a region which will automatically have the specified attributes in the nav mesh
  • func_nav_avoidance_obstacle - Possibly used to give higher priority to go around an area, instead of through it, unless the bots or infected have no other choice. (Used around the cubicles in Dead Air 2)
  • func_nav_blocker - Blocks bot navigation.
  • func_orator - A very simple model entity that has animations and response rules. Used for the interactive responses from the church guy.

  • func_precipitation - Updated with a new rain and cinder effect.
  • func_precipitation_blocker - A brush entity that prevents rain and snow inside its volume.
  • func_simpleladder - Similar to func_ladder, but uses trigger texture? Three keyvalues names (normal.x, normal.y, normal.z) interfere with the .fgd. (This ladder entity has a team property. It can be found in versus mode. Team = 1 is presumed survivor, team = 2 is infected)
  • fog_volume - Used to fade between env_fog_controllers. (ie: interior vs exterior fog)
