It 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.
It is primarily used for a target for other entities, 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. This entity can be placed with the Commentary Editor for changing the players view angles & position during a commentary.
Important:This is a preserved entity in 
.
- On a new round entities with this classname will intentionally not reset. You can use
logic_autoto emulate resetting it. - Killing it removes it forever, as it is not respawned on a new round.
- It cannot be spawned with a
point_template. - Parenting this with non preserved entities may have undesirable effects.
