info_npc_spawn_destination is a point entity available in all Source Source games. It is a NPC spawn destination. An npc_template_maker (or another npc_maker which use templates, such as npc_hunter_maker) can optionally have these set as the destination where the NPC will spawn. If multiple info_npc_spawn_destinations exist with the same targetname, one will be selected either at random, or based on the parameters of the npc_template_maker.


Icon-Bug.pngBug:These use the HUMAN_HULL to see if a destination has enough space to spawn an NPC. This can be problematic when used to spawn NPCs in small spaces, like npc_manhacks.  [todo tested in ?]
