asw_bait is a point entity present in Alien Swarm. It's a projectile normally launched by an asw_weapon_bait entity. It distracts and attracts aliens within a radius for a short period of time. The code reveals this entity is a variation of Half-Life 2's env_flare.

Note: This bait will only stay for 30 seconds after being created. Spawning these directly is best done in tandem with point_template.

Tip: Rotate the entity 90 degrees so that it lays flat.
