(This is pointless.You can as well use any other name you come up with if you add it to fgd.If you were for example loading a vscript in info_null via vscripts keyval you wouldn't be able to just change it to func_null and expect it to work outside mapbase) |

info_null is a point entity available in all 
Source games.
It is removed as soon as it spawns. It is primarily useful as a target for pointing lights at. Another possibility is to use it during map development as a way of keeping location-based notes within the VMF file, using the entity's comments box.
