Entity description

An info_target can be used by many different entities, and is a great generic target for any entity that needs to point, shoot, look at, or walk to a specific target.

The info_target entity is primarily used for a target for other entities. An info_target is similar to an info_null. An info_null is preferable to use as a point at target for lights, because an info_null is removed on map spawn, whereas an info_target remains.
