Entity

A object defined within the Source Engine as having characteristics which differentiate it from the world.

There are three main types of entities:

• Brush entities are built from brushes and include things such as triggers, doors, and rain.
• Model entities are what most people think of as entities, and include static, dynamic, and physics-based props.
• Logic entities are invisible entities that affect the game, including AI managers, lights, and choreography.

See List of entities for detailed descriptions on specific entities.
