path_mapguide

By linking these entities together you can create narrated guided tours through your map. The entity has the following properties:

* Next mapguide target - Targetname of the next mapguide
* Wait - Time to wait at this mapguide before continuing on (number cannot be 0)
* Time - Time taken to travel from this mapguide to the next one (number cannot be 0)
* Curve towards target - Curve towards the target entity on route to the next mapguide (can be any entity)
* Narration - Sound file to play at this point. Can be either a .wav or .mp3, and the filename is relative to sound/mapname/

The player's view will make a transition to each mapguide orientation as it travels.

Each map needs two different mapguide routes. One beginning with a mapguide called "overview" and another with a mapguide called "interest". Overview is a basic overview of the level, this will also be shown by default for unassigned players. The interest route is a guided tour of the main points of interest of the map; this would be things such as good defence or sg positions, security button locations, etc.
