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 while the func_train is moving. Options are:
  • 0 = No Sound
  • 1 = big elev 1
  • 2 = big elev 2
  • 3 = tech elev 1
  • 4 = tech elev 2
  • 5 = tech elev 3
  • 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
• Stop Sound (stopsnd) - The sound that is played when the func_train stopped moving. Options are:
  • 0 = no sound
  • 1 = big elev stop 1
  • 2 = big elev stop 2
  • 3 = freight elev stop
  • 4 = heavy elev stop
  • 5 = rack stop
  • 6 = rail stop
  • 7 = squeek stop
  • 8 = quick stop
• Global Entity Name (globalname)
• FX Amount (renderamt)
• FX Color (rendercolor)
• ZHLT Lightflags (zhlt_lightflags)
• Light Origin Target (light_origin) - Overrides the position from which the train will receive its lighting when the map compiles. Useful if the train doesn't have the correct lighting in-game. This can be used with an info_target.
• First stop Target (target) - The name of the path_corner that the func_train should start at. If not set, the func_train will be at 0 0 0.
• Speed (speed) - The speed the func_train will move at in units/second.
• Angular velocity (avelocity) - Sets up axial rotation. Format: Y Z X.
• Damage on crush (dmg) - If the player is caught between the func_train and a solid brush, this is the amount of damage he will sustain.
• Contents (skin) - This probably changes the sound that the entity makes when you step on it. Needs to be confirmed though.
• Sound Volume (volume) - Range: 0.0 - 1.0
• Minimum Light Level (_minlight) - The minimum light level the train will have, even if its initial position in the editor is in a purely dark room. This is a very aggressive value, so even a value of 0.02 will make the train relatively bright.

Flags

• Not solid (8)

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.
