It has also been used a lot in L4D2's _Commentary files in the maps folder. Those have been used to block areas where survivors could remain unharmed by infected. Or in the case of C4M2_Sugarmill_a, where Survivors are blocked from jumping onto a set of pipes to gain higher ground prematurely.<br>
It has been added to maps using [[Commentary_System]] files a lot. Simply because they work like clip brushes, but they are point entities which can easily be added to fix "God Spots" or unintentional access to places without compiling the map again.
 
This entity is a very useful option for clips that must be toggled on and off during gameplay.
