Notes
- Avelocity is applied to
func_rotating,func_trackautochange, andfunc_trackchangefor the first second. Afterwards,func_rotatingstarts rotating its specified speed and axis, andfunc_trackautochangeandfunc_trackchangereverts to its proper orientation on trigger. - When using sprites on
func_trains, avelocity is applied according to the sprite type e.g. third avelocity value becomes sprite's roll velocity.
