Warning:This entity can corrupt the map.vmf file if used improperly. Inputs using quotation marks " in the parameter field will cause the vmf to be broken in such a way that hammer refuses to open and compile it. This is because the vmf uses the same quotation marks to determine the end of a string. It will read the quotation mark or your input, assume that to be the end of the string and then realise that the subsequently written words are nonsensical. 
Fix:Either remove the quotation marks while hammer is still running, or open the vmf in a text editor, search for this entity and manually remove the unnecessary quotation marks.

Warning:This entity can corrupt the map.vmf file if used improperly. Inputs using quotation marks " in the parameter field will cause the vmf to be broken in such a way that hammer refuses to open and compile it. This is because the vmf uses the same quotation marks to determine the end of a string. It will read the quotation mark or your input, assume that to be the end of the string and then realise that the subsequently written words are nonsensical. Fix:Either remove the quotation marks while hammer is still running, or open the vmf in a text editor, search for this entity and manually remove the unnecessary quotation marks.Entity description
