Category:Semi-internal entities

It's a type of entity that is processed by compiler (VBSP or VRAD for example) in the similar way an internal entity would be but is also added to entity lump and exists as non-internal entity in-game.

Semi-internal entities

light, light_environment, light_spot, light_directional - their functionality is mostly taken care of by VRAD and they immediately despawn if not named
func_detail_blocker - detail sprites are not placed within their volume during compile and they still exist in-game but not do anything at that point
func_areaportal - big chunk of functionality is taken care of by VBSP[1], and the entity remains in-game without a brush (the brush is moved to world)
func_areaportalwindow - very similar case to func_areaportal
func_water - VBSP[2] adds CONTENTS_WATER to its brush
func_instance_io_proxy - VBSP takes care of this in special way (better description ^[Todo])
