Entity description

The infodecal entity is the entity created when the Decal tool is used. It places a texture on any surface, with transparency if the texture being applied supports transparency. In Half-Life 1, these textures were indicated with a {, in Half-Life 2 they are placed in the decals/ texture folder. When needed, an overlay can be used for more control over the applied texture. For example, an infodecal cannot be applied to a displacement, resized or rotated, while an overlay can.
