func_trackchange is a brush entity available in all Source games. It works as a rotating/moving platform that will carry a func_tracktrain to a new track. It must be larger in X-Y planar area than the train, since it must contain the train within these dimensions in order to operate when the train is near it.

Note:As opposed to func_trackautochange, this entity does not have a Trigger input.

KeyValues

Note:For Keyvalues and Inputs affecting brush rendering, see Brush entity/Rendering related keyvalues and inputs

Name (targetname) <string>

The name that other entities refer to this entity by, via Inputs/Outputs or other keyvalues (e.g. parentname or target).
Also displayed in Hammer's 2D views and Entity Report.

Travel Altitude (height) <integer>

The vertical height above the track that the train moves. Negative values move the train below the track.

Spin amount (rotation) <integer>

The amount this platform should rotate as it moves, in degrees.

Train to Switch (train) <targetname>

Name of the func_tracktrain this platform will transport to the top/bottom track.

Top Track (toptrack) <targetname>

Name of last path_track of the top path. If the Start at Bottom flag is selected, this is the name of the first path_track at the top path.

Bottom Track (bottomtrack) <targetname>

Name of first path_track of the top path. If the Start at Bottom flag is selected, this is the name of the last path_track at the bottom path.

Move/Rotate Speed (speed) <integer>

Speed at which the entity travels the whole way up/down (units per second).

Move Sound (movesnd) <choices>

The sound played whenever the platform starts moving.

Flags

Auto Activate train : [1]
Relink track : [2]
Start at Bottom : [8]

Platform starts at the bottom track instead of the top one.

Rotate Only : [16]
X Axis : [64]

Train rotates around the X-axis instead of the Z-axis. Can be combined with Y Axis.
