Notes

• The only official maps to use func_vehicle were de_jeepathon2k, which was only included in beta 7.0 and beta 7.1, and cs_siege. A drivable vehicle was added to Siege in beta 7.1, but was removed in a later version.
• Examples of custom maps with func_vehicle: de_racetownz with cars, air_fight2 with helicopters, and cc_boathouse with boats.
• Tayl0r at Counter-Map has written a tutorial.
