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)
