Point script template

Template:L4d2 point It is point_template, but with internal elements of it readjusted for scripting. point_template relies on the map file to function properly; Trying to spawn entities with point_template created by scripts will return that it has no templates, though it will still delete its own template entities. One can work with this as if they're working on a point_template entity.

When compiling Entity Groups, point_template entities are converted to point_script_template.

Keyvalues

Template 1 ([todo internal name (i)]) to Template 16 <targetname>

Name (targetname) <string>[ Edit ]

Also displayed in Hammer's 2D views and Entity Report.
