info_nihilanth_summon

info_nihilanth_summon is a point entity available in Black Mesa. Probably a remnant of creatures summoning mechanic, which is removed from the final version of the game. Initially, the developers was planning to add the ability of the Nihilanth to summon creatures for help, this confirms the presence of commands with sk_nihi_summon_ prefix and the developers commentary. Despite this, the Nihilanth still can summon three gonarchs, if player did certain actions.

This entity used in bm_c4a4a. There are only 3 such entity, placed via Hammer. None of them is touched by inputs and outputs, removing doesn't cause any bugs and errors.

This entity has no unique inputs, outputs, or properties. There is also no custom spawnflags.
