surf_startlinezone

surf_startlinezone is a brush entity which operates as the 'starting line'. This entity should be placed right on the edge of whichever platform the player is leaving at the start to begin their overall run.

Key information

  • Starts the timer for a run.
  • Is considered to be split zone 1 for the split system.
  • Will slow (clamp) the player down or reset the player if they're attempting to pre-speed
    • It is possible within the Surf gamemode to disable this feature, however it's done on a per-map basis and the mapper cannot control this.

Key / Value pairs

This entity has no key / value pairs.

Best Practises

  • In most cases you will only need one of these present in a given map. If your launch pad has a curved start then you can use multiple to form one elongated starting line.
