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 spotlights, 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.
