Entity Description
NPC Spawn Destination. An npc_template_maker (or another npc_makers which use templates, such as npc_hunter_maker) can optionally have these set as the destination of where the NPC will spawn. If multiple info_npc_spawn_destinations exist with the same targetname, one will be selected either at random, or based on the parameters of the npc_template_maker.
