func_tfbot_hint is a brush entity available in Team Fortress 2.

Hints give specific information about their location to help TF2 Bots decide how to react to, or make best use of, that specific location. Hints are only semi-scripted; you cannot force a bot to use a hint (with the exception of actbusy routines). Hints are only suggestions, to be weighed by the bot's AI code during gameplay.

This entity adds the SNIPER_SPOT or SENTRY_SPOT attribute, depending on its hint KV, to any overlapping nav areas.
