Template:Wrongtitle func_instance is a point entity used by the L4D2 engine (though found and working in the Hammer editor for all Source games) for placing an instance of another map file. You may translate and rotate this entity. You can use the replace keys to do parameter changes on the instance contents. In a $ at the beginning of a variable name. Then just use the $variable name inside of the instance contents on any value portion of a key/value pair.
KeyValues

- This entity's orientation in the world. Pitch is rotation around the Y axis, yaw is the rotation around the Z axis, roll is the rotation around the X axis.

<target_source> - The name that all entities will be fixed up with based upon the fix up style.
