func_areaportalwindow

Source(core) Solid Entity

description

An entity that can be used to optimize the visibility in a map. If you seal off an area with them, then when the viewer moves a certain distance away from them, they will go opaque and the parts inside the area will not be drawn. The 'target' bmodel should enclose the func_areaportal window so no parts of it are culled by the window. If you use the optional foreground bmodel, then it should enclose the 'target' bmodel.

properties

• Name targetname(target_source)
  The name that other entities refer to this entity by.
• Rendered Window target(target_destination)
  The name of a brush model to render as the window.
• Fade Start Distance FadeStartDist(integer) - default: 128
  When the viewer is closer than this distance, the alpha is set to 'TranslucencyLimit'.
• Fade End Distance FadeDist(integer) - default: 512
  When the viewer is at this distance, the portal becomes solid and closes off.
• Translucency limit TranslucencyLimit(string) - default: 0.2
  This value limits the translucency of the bmodel and prevents it from becoming invisible when the viewer is right on top of it.
• Foreground bmodel BackgroundBModel(string)
  (Optional) bmodel that is drawn after the fading bmodel. This model should have alpha in its textures so you can see through it.
