Entity Description
An entity to control a game-specific global states, it can be used to force the gravity gun to become the super gravity gun among other things.
For this entity to take effect from the map's start, the Set Initial State flag must be checked.
With the Orange Box, the entity can also store a numeric variable, the "counter," which can be added to or set directly (but not subtracted from), much like a math_counter which works across multiple maps.
The properties of this entity apply to the whole map. Multiple instances of this entity within a map may cause errors.
