In [[Left 4 Dead 2]] the witch has a alternative version wearing a bridal dress. As seen in ''The Passing''.<br>
The only difference between this witch and the default is the model.

==Spawning==
The bride witch can be spawned in multiple ways, but every approach requires you to precache the model, else the map crashes.<br>
To precache the model, add a [[prop_dynamic]] to a unreachable area in your map, using <code>models/infected/witch_bride.mdl</code><br>

If you do not have any viable unreachable location, create a hollow [[tool_textures|Nodraw]] block around the witch prop_dynamic and place it into the void.

===Via info_zombie_spawn===
The best way to spawn a bridal witch is using [[info_zombie_spawn]].<br>
Place it where you would like to have your bride spawned, call it <code>WitchBrideSpawnpoint</code> and use <code>witch_bride</code> in the "population" field.

Now you have a spawnpoint, but you need to actually spawn the witch now.<br>
Any entity capable of firing [[Inputs_and_Outputs|outputs]] can spawn the witch, via the following outputs:
{| {{OutputsTable}}
| [[File:Io11.png]] || ''Depends on entity'' || WitchBrideSpawnpoint || SpawnZombie || <none> || 0.00 || No
|}

As a reference Valve had used the [[info_gamemode]] entity with the following outputs to spawn the witch in Coop and Versus, but not in Survival:
{| {{OutputsTable}}
| [[File:Io11.png]] || OnCoop || WitchBrideSpawnpoint || SpawnZombie || <none> || 0.10 || No
|-
| [[File:Io11.png]] || OnVersus || WitchBrideSpawnpoint || SpawnZombie || <none> || 0.10 || No
|}



===Via Missionfile===
One way of spawning a bridal witch is using the [[L4D2_Mission_Files|missionfile]]. Only drawback is that '''all''' witches on the map will be wearing bridal gowns.

Required Setup in missionfile:
  "1"
  {
  	"Map" "c6m1_riverbank"
  	"DisplayName" "#L4D360UI_LevelName_COOP_C6M1"
  	"Image" "maps/c6m1_riverbank"
  	'''"WitchVariant" "models/infected/witch_bride.mdl"'''
  }
