Warning:This entity is not intended to be placed in a map manually. Doing so will result in an instant fatal error on map load!Note:This is a preserved entity in 
.
- On a new round, its properties including its position 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.
