would be quite useful having some of these finally added in. heres to hoping they get added

[robotboy655]

Added the 2 point_teleport inputs + fixed the 2nd spawnflag not working

[Caskoo]

Do you plan on adding the other requested entities?

[Kefta]

I'm sure at some point. I still imagine huge changes aren't being made til x64 comes out.

[robotboy655]

Added point_viewcontrol features from CSGO: SetTarget/SetTargetAttachment/ReturnToEyes/TeleportToView/SetTrackSpeed/SetPath inputs, "fov" "trackspeed "fov_rate" keyvalues, Set FOV spawnflag

Please test these, i don't know any maps that make use of these.

env_sprite_clientside added color_correction_volume is already in the game, and it works. env_projectedtexture has new inputs: LightColor, SetLightStyle, SetPattern, SetNearZ, SetFarZ env_projectedtexture has new keyvalues: style, defaultstyle, pattern.

Also added a bunch of missing inputs for env_projectedtexture in our base.fgd: SpotlightTexture, EnableShadows, LightWorld, LightOnlyTarget, Target. If you know of any other entities under documented in the default .fgd don't hesitate to point them out.

Things I am not interested in adding:

• prop_dynamic_glow and any other glow keyvalues/inputs/etc. I could alias prop_dynamic_glow to prop_dynamic for map support, but I will not be adding the glow functionality.

trigger_push additions: (.fgd included)

• Spawnflag 4096 now acts like it does in CSGO - properly takes into account mass and multiple physics objects
• Added SetPushDirection input
• Added Only falling players keyvalues

Much appreciated for your work adding these Rubat, and about the glow mechanics, I understand, I just thought it would be nice to have so mappers who aren't Lua skilled have that option and same for the game instructor system l4d2 added.

Any update regarding the rest of the requested entities?

+1 for func_precipitation_blocker. Having to use a bunch of separate func_precipitation brushes is pretty ridiculous
