CPointEntity is a code class in Source. Entities inheriting this class are never rendered as 3D models.

Risk of Confusion:Not the same thing as point entity which is determined by how entity is defined in FGD, and also the logic behind the name choice differs

Entities linked to this class

• info_player_start

• info_landmark

• info_teleport_destination

• info_target_helicopter_crash

• info_hang_lighting

Keyvalue handling

mins / maxs

Prints warning to console about not being allowed to modify mins/maxs of point entity.

Tip:Can be avoided by specifying # symbol. Example "mins#25 100 100 100". See keyvalue handling of CBaseEntity for more information about this.

<anything else> <any>

Handled by CBaseEntity KeyValue method.
