info_null is a point entity available in all 
Source games.
It is removed as soon as it spawns. It is primarily useful as a target for pointing lights at. Another possibility is to use it during map development as a way of keeping location-based notes within the VMF file, using the entity's comments box.
Important:Because this entity isn't removed on compile, it still counts toward the edict limit for a split second until removed on map spawn
Code Fix:Remove the LINK_ENTITY_TO_CLASS() that connects info_null to CNullEntity in 
game/server/subs.cpp. This will cause an error to be logged in the console on map load, but the info_null will not be initialized, and therefore will never count as an edict.Keyvalues
- Name (targetname) <string>[ Edit ]
- The name that other entities refer to this entity by, via Inputs/Outputs or other keyvalues (e.g.
parentnameortarget).
