handle_test
and handle_dummy
are logical entities available in all Source games. Both was created to test regarding the networking of entities.
Developers comment in test_ehandle.cpp:
In this test, the server makes an entity (call it A) that has an EHANDLE to another entity (call it B). Intitially, A is sent to the client but B is not. Later, the server decides to send B to the client too. At that point, without resending A's EHANDLE, the client's EHANDLE should access B.
A means handle_test, B means handle_dummy.
