info_null is a point entity available in all 
GoldSrc games. It will automatically remove itself on spawn. Primarily used as a spotlight target.
Warning:This entity still counts toward the edict limit for a split second until being automatically killed upon spawning. Workaround:If this is an issue, do one of the following:
- If this is a multiplayer map, use spawnflag 2048 ("Not in Deathmatch"). This spawnflag is parsed by the engine before the entity has a chance to spawn.
- If this is a singleplayer map, add a non-existent entity (ex: info_target_null) to the FGD and use that to prevent the entity from being networked, as it gets discarded as an unknown entity when it tries to spawn.
Key Values
- Name (targetname) <string>
- The targetname that other entities refer to this entity by.
