Entity description

An entity that can be used to change the lighting origin of a prop_static or a vehicle prop. Set the prop's lightingorigin keyvalue to point at this entity to make the prop light as if it was at the info_lighting's origin. Good for prop_static entities that are embedded in world geometry (like rocks/windows/etc).
