info_null is a point entity available in all GoldSrc GoldSrc games. It will automatically remove itself on spawn. Primarily used as a spotlight target.

Warning.pngWarning:This entity still counts toward the edict limit for a split second until being automatically killed upon spawning.
PlacementTip.pngWorkaround: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.
