This entity is not in the FGD by default.
It should not be put directly in a map because it can only be configured through code.

env_laser_dot is a point entity available in Black Mesa Black Mesa.

This is the laser guide endpoint that steer rocket grenades. Used by RPG to change the flying direction for the rockets. It is also used by TOW, however, it doesn't change the flying direction for the missiles. Entity kill will cause immediate respawn.
