This point entity is available in all Source games.

Entity description

  • This entity indicates the position and facing direction at which the player will spawn.
  • In Single Player games: The properties of this entity apply to the whole map. Multiple instances of this entity within a map may cause errors.
  • To prevent the player from spawning into geometry, the entity cannot reside halfway through a solid object.
  • In Counter-Strike: Source, this entity represents the initial origin for a player that has just joined the game.
  • If there isn't at least one spawn entity, most mods will usually spawn the player at 0, 0, 0.
Note.png Note: While normally a problem, any number of info_player_start entities can be placed in a map when working in cordoned areas (see Localized starting points for more information).
