Point script template

This entity is not in the FGD by default.
It should not be put directly in a map because point_template already is an accessible option.

point_script_template is a point entity available in Left 4 Dead 2. It is also available in Team Fortress 2 branch. It is a version of point_template readjusted to work for spawning-on-runtime, such as VScripts.

Thepoint_templateentity relies on compiled data from the map file to function properly, so trying to spawn entities with apoint_templatemade by scripts will return it having no templates and fail, even though it still can delete its own template entities.

This entity is similar to topoint_template, however it does NOT have precaching or name fixups. The number of templates is unlimited unlike point_template, although they can only be added by the AddTemplate function. See the VScript documentation for details on usage.

When compiling Entity Groups,point_template entities are converted topoint_script_template.

Note:All Keyvalues / Inputs / Outputs are same as point_template.
