'''Point | '''Point Entity''' is usually defined as simply entity that is not a [[brush entity]] i.e. entity that is created by [[Hammer Entity Tool]] on specific point on a [[coordinates|grid]] instead of tying a brush model to an entity. More meaningful definition for a point entity is an entity that doesn't render a 3D model and its position position in the map affects the entity's functionality (for example [[info_target]], [[env_sprite]], [[infodecal]], [[point_hurt]]). Other types of entities that are also created on a specific point and are usually referred to as ''point entity'' are [[model entity|model entities]] and [[logical entity|logical entities]]. | ||

Point Entity is usually defined as simply entity that is not a brush entity i.e. entity that is created by Hammer Entity Tool on specific point on a grid instead of tying a brush model to an entity. More meaningful definition for a point entity is an entity that doesn't render a 3D model and its position position in the map affects the entity's functionality (for example info_target, env_sprite, infodecal, point_hurt). Other types of entities that are also created on a specific point and are usually referred to as point entity are model entities and logical entities.
