cycler_weapon - Point Entity

The cycler entity is a weapon model viewer of sorts. It places a model within the map that acts as a weapon pickup. When picked up, the model will be placed in front of the player as a viewmodel. Secondary attack will cycle animations of the model, while primary attack will restart the current animation.
