Info player start

From Valve Developer Community

This point-based 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 atleast one spawn entity, most mods will usually spawn the player at 0, 0, 0.

 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).
