cycler is a point entity available in all GoldSrc games. A simple entity that is used for displaying model animations. When it takes damage from any weapon, it will begin to loop the next animation sequence of it's model.

Important:This is a debug entity, and will not survive save-loads. Use env_model or item_generic if available, otherwise use cycler_sprite (if multiplayer), monster_furniture (if singleplayer), or env_sprite (singleplayer or multiplayer).
