asw_marker
asw_marker is a point entity available in 
Alien Swarm.
Entity description
It creates highlighted areas on the ingame minimap and the briefing map to be used as markings for objectives.
Usage
To create highlighted areas with this entity, you will need an objective first. Once you have that, define it as the markers target in the 'Objective Name' keyvalue and it will be visible ingame. To control it's size, use the 'Map Width' and 'Map Height' keyvalues. Note that these are measured in world units and are automatically fitted onto map, if it is applied correctly. Note also, that this entity is always the center of the map marking. So for example if you wanted to highlight a room on your map, you would have to place the marker in the exact middle of it room, and aplly the rooms size to the 'Map Width' and 'Map Height' keyvalues.
