func_trackchange - Brush Entity

This entity allows you to create a rotating platform that will switch a func_tracktrain's path, used mainly with player-controllable trains.

Attributes

• Name (targetname) - Property used to identify entities.
• Render FX (renderfx) - Gives objects special render effects. Think of it as modifying whatever the Render Mode puts out. The options are as follows:
  • 0 = Normal
  • 1 = Slow Pulse
  • 2 = Fast Pulse
  • 3 = Slow Wide Pulse
  • 4 = Fast Wide Pulse
  • 5 = Slow Fade Away
  • 6 = Fast Fade Away
  • 7 = Slow Become Solid
  • 8 = Fast Become Solid
  • 9 = Slow Strobe
  • 10 = Fast Strobe
  • 11 = Faster Strobe
  • 12 = Slow Flicker
  • 13 = Fast Flicker
  • 14 = Constant Glow
  • 15 = Distort
  • 16 = Hologram (Distort and Fade)
• Render Mode (rendermode) - Controls the type of rendering that is used for an object. Options are:
  • 0 = Normal
  • 1 = Color
  • 2 = Texture
  • 3 = Glow
  • 4 = Solid
  • 5 = Additive
• Move Sound (movesnd) - The sound that is played when the platform moves. Options are:
  • 0 = No Sound (common/null.wav)
  • 1 = big elev 1 (plats/bigmove1.wav)
  • 2 = big elev 2 (plats/bigmove2.wav)
  • 3 = tech elev 1 (plats/elevmove1.wav)
  • 4 = tech elev 2 (plats/elevmove2.wav)
  • 5 = tech elev 3 (plats/elevmove3.wav)
  • 6 = freight elev 1 (plats/freightmove1.wav)
  • 7 = freight elev 2 (plats/freightmove2.wav)
  • 8 = heavy elev (plats/heavymove1.wav)
  • 9 = rack elev (plats/rackmove1.wav)
  • 10 = rail elev (plats/railmove1.wav)
  • 11 = squeek elev (plats/squeekmove1.wav)
  • 12 = odd elev 1 (plats/talkmove1.wav)
  • 13 = odd elev 2 (plats/talkmove2.wav)
• Stop Sound (stopsnd) - The sound that is played after the platform stops moving. Options are:
  • 0 = no sound (common/null.wav)
  • 1 = big elev stop 1 (plats/bigstop1.wav)
  • 2 = big elev stop 2 (plats/bigstop2.wav)
  • 3 = freight elev stop (plats/freightstop1.wav)
  • 4 = heavy elev stop (plats/heavystop2.wav)
  • 5 = rack stop (plats/rackstop1.wav)
  • 6 = rail stop (plats/railstop1.wav)
  • 7 = squeek stop (plats/squeekstop1.wav)
  • 8 = quick stop (plats/talkstop1.wav)
• FX Amount (renderamt)
• FX Color (rendercolor)
• Global Entity Name (globalname)
• Sound Volume 0.0 - 1.0 (volume)
• Sound Volume (volume) - Range: 0.0 - 1.0
• Travel altitude (height) - Altitude to ascend or descend (use negative values for the latter, or 0 to disable altitude change).
• Spin Amount (rotation) - This is the amount in degrees the track will turn on its way up / down.
• Train to Switch (train) - The Name of the train that is using the track.
• Top Track (toptrack) - This is the Name of the last path_corner in the upper track.
• Bottom Track (bottomtrack) -The Name of the first path_corner in the lower track.
• Move/Rotate Speed (speed) - The speed in units/sec that the track platform will move. If the Rotate Only flag is set this will be the speed of rotation only.
• ZHLT Lightflags (zhlt_lightflags)
• Light Origin Target (light_origin)
• Minimum Light Level (_minlight)

Flags

• Auto activate train (1) - ??
• Relink track (2) - ??
• Start at bottom (8) - Moving track will start in the bottom position.
• Rotate only (16) - Track will not move up and down.
• X axis (64) - Rotate around the X axis.
• Y axis (128) - Rotate around the Y axis.

Notes

• Identical to func_trackautochange except that this one is for player-controlled trains.
• An origin brush needs to be part of the entity to specify its axis of rotation.
• The axis defaults to Z if neither of the axis flags is enabled.
