This entity is not in the game by default, but still has code available for it in the SDK.
This feature is not available anymore.

env_entity_freezing is a cut entity available in Half-Life 2: Episode Three.

According to the remaining code in the Alien Swarm SDK, its purpose was to be "An entity that can be created at runtime to ignite a target entity", while in reality it would freeze the target entity, not ignite the target entity. If it was to target the player it would immediately kill the player, set their HEV power to zero, and prevent their ragdoll from experiencing any physics. Also in the Alien Swarm SDK, the client code utilizes Blobulator, the same metaball rendering tech as the Ice seen in the Half-Life 2 20th anniversary documentary.
