env_entity_igniter is a point entity available in all Source games. It catches a target entity on fire. If the target is an animating model, it will have flame sprites attached to its skeleton. Otherwise the target will emit particle flame puffs.

AltNames: This entity is also tied to entityflame. Since Left 4 Dead 2 it is not an altname and env_entity_igniter internally only initiates the igniting by creating entityflame which also doesn't anymore have lifetime keyvalue and Ignite input.
