It can be used by many different entities, and is a great generic target for any entity that needs to point, shoot, look at, or walk to a specific target.

It is primarily used for a target for other entities, similar to an info_null. An info_null is preferable to use as a point at target for lights, because an info_null is removed on map spawn, whereas an info_target remains. This entity can be placed with the Commentary Editor for changing the players view angles & position during a commentary.

  • On a new round entities with this classname will intentionally not reset. You can use logic_auto to emulate resetting it.
  • Killing it removes it forever, as it is not respawned on a new round.
  • It cannot be spawned with a point_template.
  • Parenting this with non preserved entities may have undesirable effects.
