info_null is a special entity that is used as a target for lights and event_lightning in order to set the direction of spotlights and as the end destination of event_lightning. However, all modern light tools support additional keys added to lights directly that is used to set the angle in a more convenient way, so info_null is almost never used.
Do not confuse info_null and info_notnull. info_notnull is an extremely useful entity, and is primarily used for map based hacks that allow the level designer to add various features to levels that are not directly supported by the standard Quake entities, and without needing a mod.
Attributes
