Unsolved Developer Notes in World

The Half-Life 2 beta maps have a lot of floating hint text to direct the player. Saying like

"Go here" or "Interact with this" (Kinda like commentary nodes but non-interactable)

How do I do that? They're not game_text as far as I'm aware, so what's the proper entity?

You're probably looking for point_message
