grenade_energy

This entity is not in the FGD by default.
It should not be put directly in a map because it wasn't supposed to be used via Hammer by the developers. You still can use it for your map or mod, just add required code to the FGD.

grenade_energy is a point entity available in Black Mesa (mod). The grenade entity that used by npc_alien_controller. This is small energy sphere which can deal electric damage. It is generated by alien controller and can homing into target. Most inputs and outputs are same as CBaseAnimating.
