Point entities are one of the two types of entity. A point entity is any entity that is not comprised of a brush, including lights, enemies, sounds, items, and game logic entities, among many others.

A point entity's position is defined as a single point without any dimensions (hence the name). If they do have a volume, and many of them do, it'll be a fixed value around that point.

Types

As aforementioned, here are some of the many types of entities that are of the point variety:

• NPCs, weapons, and items
• Environmental effects and map logic
• Point light sources

Miscellaneous

• Defined as a PointClass in FGD files through the @PointClass directive. The FGD also supports defining size, colour, and display sprite or model for point entities to help with categorization and placement.
