trigger_softbarrier

trigger_softbarrier is a brush entity available in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.

Entity description

It is a trigger volume that softly slows player velocity in a given direction. This entity was first added in the map de_canals to alert the player that they are reaching a clipped-off area. Unlike trigger_push, you cannot indicate the strength of the 'pusheffect'. You can, however, filter it.

Keyvalues

Outputs

BaseTrigger

OnStartTouch Fired when a valid entity starts touching this trigger. !activator is whatever touches the trigger. Bug:Spamming crouch jumps in a trigger can randomly fire OnStartTouch. Confirm:Is it a Multiplayer issue only?   [todo tested in?] OnStartTouchAll Fired when a valid entity starts touching this trigger, and no other entities are touching it. If there are any other entities touching the trigger when a new one begins to touch, only OnStartTouch will fire. OnEndTouch Fired when a valid entity stops touching this trigger. Warning:This includes entities which are deleted while inside the trigger. In this case !activator will be invalid.
