Removes all instances of the named output on this entity. Wildcards are supported, meaning you could just pass '*' to wipe all outputs from this entity.
AcceptInput <string>
Fires the named input on this entity. Format: '<input name>:<parameter>:<activator>:<caller>:<output ID>' (SetTarget:cheese). Everything beyond the input name is optional. Mind the fact this is arranged differently from FireOutput, having the parameter right after the input name.

SetTarget <target_destination>
Sets this entity's target. This is specific to certain entities, particularly logic entities that involve a target.
