- 6 = freight elev 1
- 7 = freight elev 2
- 8 = heavy elev
- 9 = rack elev
- 10 = rail elev
- 11 = squeek elev
- 12 = odd elev 1
- 13 = odd elev 2[/li]
[li]Stop Sound (stopsnd) - This property is found in both door and elevator type entities. For doors, the options are:
- 0 = No Sound

- 7 = squeek stop
- 8 = quick stop[/li]
[li]Global Entity Name (globalname)[/li]
[li]FX Amount (renderamt)[/li]
[li]FX Color (rendercolor)[/li]
[li]ZHLT Lightflags (zhlt_lightflags)[/li]
[li]Light Origin Target (light_origin)[/li]
[li]First stop Target (target) - The name of the path_corner you want the entity to begin its journey at.[/li]
[li]Speed (speed) - The speed the entity will move at in units/second.[/li]
[li]Angular velocity (avelocity) - Sets up axial rotation. Format: Y Z X.[/li]
[li]Damage on crush (dmg) - If the player is caught between the entity and a solid brush, this is the amount of damage he will sustain.[/li]
[li]Contents (skin)[/li]
[li]Sound Volume (volume) - Range: 0.0 - 1.0[/li]
[li]Minimum Light Level (_minlight)[/li]

Notes
- After spawning, the func_train moves instantly to its First Stop Target path_corner. So the entity can be created in another area (and therefore lighting can be controlled), but it will always appear in the right place to the player.
- When making moving targets for things like env_laser, set Render Mode to Texture and Render Amount to 0, and enable the Not Solid flag.
- No origin brush is required - the func_train aligns itself so that its centre is right over the centre of its path_corners.
