Used to attach graphics for cursor boxes to entities during runtime. They can also be independent from entities so they are simply drawn somewhere in the world. See LuaSurface.create_entity for the available options for type "highlight-box".

The collision_box of the highlight box prototype is ignored during runtime, instead the "bounding_box" given in create_entity() or the selection box of the target entity is used.
