point_enable_motion_fixup is a point entity available in all Source games. It is used to move a motion-disabled prop when it enables motion. Parent this entity to the prop, and when the prop has its motion enabled, it will immediately teleport to the origin and angles of this entity.

Placement Tip:To be used with prop_physics with flags 'Motion Disabled' and 'Enable motion when grabbed by gravity gun' that is partially inside a wall and meant to be grabbed by gravity gun.

Example:Only used in Half-Life 2 map d1_town_01 for saw blade partly inside a wall. Doesn't seem to cause any issues without it though.

Note:This entity gets deleted after the prop is fixed-up.

Note:This entity is created automatically when prop_physics thrown by gravity gun stick inside a wall. (for example models/props_junk/harpoon002a.mdl and models/props_junk/sawblade001a.mdl)
