A visual blockade that appears only when the opposing team gets close to the entrance of your team's spawn room.

Entity description

A visual blockade or a wall that prevents players of the opposite team from entering or firing into your team's spawn room. It disappears as the player gets farther away, and fades in as the player gets closer to the entrance of the room.

In the special case when a team control point does not have an owner (is gray), the respawnroomvisualizer will be visible, but not solid, to either team. Map developers need to use alternatives to keep players out of these spawnrooms (ie one-way doors, or func brushes that can be killed when the team control point is captured.

Availability

This brush-based entity is exclusive to Team Fortress 2.
