Worldspawn

Entity Description

Entity Name: worldspawn

The worldspawn entity that is present on every map. It represents all world brushes. It also stores general information about the map and can be edited via the Edit menu in Hammer. Constraints can be assigned to this object (by not specifying any name for the object in question). Any damage sustained from suicide, falling damage, or asphyxiation is set to be caused by worldspawn.

It must also be noted that if you constrain the world and another object, and set No Collision between the two, then the object will sink out of the map.
