point_template is an existing point entity available with all versions of Mapbase.

Turns an entity, or set of entities, into a single template that can be instanced anywhere, and multiple times. If there are interdependencies (entity I/O, hierarchy, or other name references) between the entities in the template, the entities in the template will have their names changed and the interdependencies will be reconnected to the changes names. The name change format is as follows: ‘&0000', where the 0000 will be replaced with the current global template instance, so wildcard searches for '*' will still find them. If you don't want the name fixup to happen, because you're only spawning the template once, or you want inputs to trigger all instances of the template, check the 'Preserve entity names' spawnflag. To spawn the template in other places, use an env_entity_maker.
