trigger_paint_cleanser

trigger_paint_cleanser is a brush entity available in Portal 2. It is a trigger volume that destroys gel blobs which pass through it, and removes gel from objects such as cubes. In Portal 2: Community Edition , it will additionally reset the paint gun's gel types when the player passes through it.

Note:It does not remove gel applied to brushes, or block gel from streaking past it.

Bug:In Portal 2, the entity will always remove gel from physics objects regardless of the Physics Objects flag.  [todo tested in ?]

Fix:This has been fixed in P2CE, in addition to respecting the Clients flag for paint gun resetting.

Note:Gel needs to have Paint in Map set to True in worldspawn before applying on surfaces. Maps that do not use gel can save significant resources by avoiding gel code.
