logic_eventlistener is a point entity available in all 
Source games since Portal 2. It is also available in Team Fortress 2.
It can listen to events fired from code and fire and output when it happens.
All event declarations can be found in these files:
resource/gameevents.res resource/modeevents.res resource/demoimportantevents.res resource/serverevents.res resource/hltvevents.res resource/replayevents.res
Bug:In singleplayer, the entity will stop working (firing outputs) after a save is reloaded, and must be respawned with a point_template.Bug:In , when overtime is reached in KOTH maps, the entity does not fire on the teamplay_overtime_begin and teamplay_overtime_end events.: In code, it is represented by the CLogicEventListener class, defined in the logic_eventlistener.cpp file. It is a subclass of both CLogicalEntity and CGameEventListener.Contents
